Students of Cinema
Deborah Luckett
​
DeBorah Luckett is a Civil Engineering Major from Jackson, Ms. Although her career path does not involve any factors of media production or mass communication, her interest in learning and being as versatile as possible led her on the road of film-hood. She first got exposed to this life, after being selected for a leading lady role in a short film about contracting HIV/AIDS. Even though this was a nice experience for her, she decided that being in front of the camera was not for her. Instead, she found fascination in actually dressing the actors. Therefore, she is now the primary costume manager for Students of Cinema. If you see an outfit that the actors may be wearing that you really like, DeBorah probably put it together.
