I'm absolutely honored to share that I have been selected to receive a @lonestaremmy production award for my on-air talent work from my first year at Abilene Christian.

This is such an amazing surprise and encouragement from my first year of collegiate work. Thank you to the people that have invested in me and have pushed me to be the best I can be. Thank you to @acu_tv and @acujmc for providing me with opportunities that have helped me improve in all facets of sports journalism.

It's an absolute honor that I don't take lightly. Excited for the rest of year two!

We’re having the BEST time at the @afffestival!

We’re especially excited to celebrate the Best Student Film Award for “Housing Hope,” a documentary created as part of @acujmc’s Documentary Storytelling class.

The JMC Department was well represented at the festival. Makayla Clayton’s documentary, “Restored: Rwanda’s Journey of Healing and Hope,” was also selected and screened at the festival.

And one of our favorite parts? Running into ACU JMC alumni at AFFF! It’s always exciting to see where our graduates are taking their passion for storytelling.
Congratulations to all of our students and alumni who are making their mark in the film community!

A BIG thank you to the AFFF team for creating a beautiful space for filmmakers!

We’re honored that our documentary has been selected to screen at @afffestival 🎥

To screen a film made in Abilene, about someone from Abilene, at our hometown film festival is a privilege we don’t take for granted.

We’re grateful to everyone who trusted us with this story and we can’t wait to share it with our community.

🎬 OFFICIAL SELECTION! 🎬
We’re incredibly excited to announce that our documentary has been officially selected for the Amarillo International Film Festival! ✨

“Housing Hope” documentary is about shedding light on the realities of homelessness, amplifying the voices of those who are often unseen and pointing to the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. Hope through compassion. Hope through community. Hope through advocates like Abilene Hope Haven, who are working every day to make a difference and serve those in need.

Thank you to Jana, our courageous subject, for trusting us with her story; Abilene Hope Haven, our community partner; the ACU Department of Journalism and Mass Communication for supporting this project and our amazing crew.

See you in Amarillo in October!
More to come. 🎬✨

Meet one of our camera operators, Abbey Monroe! 🎥

Abbey stepped behind the camera to film the “Housing Hope” documentary, embracing a role that challenged her to grow as a filmmaker while capturing meaningful moments throughout the production.

👋 Hey! My name is Abbey Monroe. I’m a multimedia student at Abilene Christian University. I am one of the camera operators on this film which was really cool considering outside the documentary, operating the camera was a little out of my comfort zone and this helped me not only practice, but apply a new perspective to moments happening in real time. Outside of this documentary, I make short films for ACU Film Fest! This year I’ve directed and edited three films, whilst also getting to be a part of the process for two more serving in more minor roles.

🎬 Thanks Abbey for helping us document this meaningful story.

🎬 OFFICIAL SELECTION! 🎬

We’re excited to share that our documentary has been selected for the 2026 @reeleasttexas!

Set in Abilene, the film follows one woman’s journey beyond chronic homelessness as she navigates recovery and works toward a more stable future. Her story reminds us that behind the statistics are real people, real struggles and real hope.

We’re grateful to Jana - our documentary subject, @hopehavenabilene, @acujmc and our student filmmakers for helping bring this story to the screen and sharing “Housing Hope” with a wider audience.

”I know it feels like we’re saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next, to remind us of who we are, and of who we’re meant to be. I’ve had a great four years with you, and I’ll miss you all very much.” - Qwen Stacy, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 🕷️🎓
