Frequently Asked Questions (don't worry, you aren't the only one):

Why is the Cage called the Cage?

It's simple really, the Cage is called the Cage because it is literally a caged room. There are three walls and the fourth wall is a caged fence.

What does that Cage actually do?

The Cage works as a producing hub, helping students with the areas of post production that gets overlooked. We hope to help students get connected with each other and other filmmakers in the city and work as an intermedary to the film community. Really, the Cage does whatever students need it to do as far as help with the production of their project.

Can I rent equipment or buy tapes at the Cage?

NO! NO! The Cage is NOT Equipment Check-Out/it is not the place to check out equipment. Equipment Check-Out is located next door to the Cage. If you would like to rent equipment please go to Equipment page.
