(Pinewood Studios, UK – April 3, 2020)
Detecting Deception: The Polygraph Process, produced in December 2019 by students in Edinboro’s Film & Video program, has been selected for screening by this month’s Lift-Off Sessions. The Lift-Off Network coordinates 11 global festivals from its headquarters at the famed Pinewood Studios in the UK.
Made by students in Professor Brian Fuller’s Film & Video Production II course, Detecting Deception will screen with other independent films thus qualifying for higher levels of competition.
Detecting Deception: The Polygraph Process – honored in December as the Edinboro Film Festival’s best live-action film – profiles polygraph examiner Joseph Ray. In the short documentary, Ray candidly discusses the ethical tensions of testing in criminal complaints and domestic conflicts. The movie was directed Jacob Roper and produced by Emerson Schmidt.
