Brown University Student Television (BTV) is Brown’s only student-run film and digital media production group. Founded in 1987 by Doug Liman ‘88 (Director/Producer “The Bourne Identity”, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”) and David Bartis ‘88 (former Senior Vice President of Primetime Series at NBC) among others as a TV station on Brown's analog cable network, BTV has since grown and evolved into a digital-age production studio and distribution platform, producing Brown's finest web shows and short films, and helping train the next generation of Brunonians in the entertainment industry.

For the past 24 years, BTV has provided students with the unique opportunity to gain hands on experience in film and television management and production. At BTV, we offer students the opportunity to write, direct, produce, edit, and star in their own films and web shows. From live news, to sci fi, to event videography, to digital art, BTV is committed to nourishing and promoting the best of Brown student work.
