NUTV : Shorted Out

Videos that require significantly more time and people are pieces written, produced, filmed & edited by NUTV members. They may be short documentaries, exploratory works, dramas or any other work. Independents are produced during the summer months when life around campus and our office is a little less hectic.

Shorted Out is a collection of independent videos broadcasted in the same show.
