![TAKE 1: MIAMI BECOMES FILMING GROUND
Student filmmakers and more than 100 crew members on movie production
[unreadable] Huebner
Several years ago. JC Schroder, Miami University student and president of the Miami Association of Filmmakers and Independent Actors (MAFIA), began brainstorming an idea for a film that he never imagined would become, he calls, the largest movie production in Miami history.
A cast and crew of more than 100 people, many of them students, alumni and film industry professionals from all over the country and thousands of dollars are being spent to ensure the success of the project.
The product of Schroder’s imagination. The End of All Things, a film that began production about three months ago, conveys the story of an explosion that occurs on a crowded college campus, the aftermath and how the characters of the film react to their situations, according to Schroder.
“The film takes a close look at the lives of nine different characters that experienced the disaster firsthand.” Schroder said.

The End of All Things will be shot largely on Miami's campus, with some scenes being shot at the actors' actual apartments, at Kofenya and mobile camera work on different streets around town. Bailey said.
On Nov. 16, 17, and 18, Irvin and McGuffey halls will have parts closed off for some effects concerning the explosion itself. Filmmakers plan to use fog machines, flickering lights, broken desks and shattered glass to create the image of the explosion. Officials from the Oxford Police and Fire Departments have been notified about the filming this weekend and some of these officials will actually appear in the film.
"It sounds like it’s a very creative and compelling idea that conveys social awareness on a sheltered campus." sophomore Chris Kelleher said. "It may sound very controversial, but bombs going off in school buildings are an everyday thing for some people."
The process of getting everything approved in order to film was enormous, according to Schroder. As the writer and director of the film. Schroder had to contact dozens of people to make filming a reality.](https://sites.miamioh.edu/meyersde/files/2025/06/IRV100-316-1024x576.png)
