About Tempestas et Caelum Productions

Every student has an idea that needs to be told--an idea that promotes the future protection of the environment and coexisting with that environment for future generations. Tempestas Productions was established to give students a platform on which to communicate their fresh new ideas for the future. Tempestas et Caelum Productions was created by instructor and climatologist, Cameron Craig, to provide students of science, broadcast meteorology, and other fields an experience in producing documentaries. In its humble beginnings in 2006, the independent film organization produced its first production, "An Illinois Winter," that required students to research and write a script about the Winter of the Deep Snow in Illinois in 1830-31. Today, students continue to produce documentaries in an effort to promote environmental awareness with the ultimate goal of exploring the basic foundation of our co-existence with nature.

With the support of the Department of Geology/Geography, College of Sciences, and WEIU-PBS at Eastern Illinois University, the organization continues to support the goal of providing students with a foundation that will enhance their future careers.

"No longer is the classroom a structure of walls but a window into the world." -Cameron Douglas Craig, Founder
