Beerman serves as Executive Producer on the film, and also provided the musical score for the production. Other faculty too are involved, including Ewart Skinner, chair of the Telecommunications Department, as the film's Producer.
The film project has gained support from a variety of sources, including Kodak, who provided the film for the production.
About twenty students have worked on the project and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the film's production, including writing, producing, directing, editing, lighting, audio, and many others. Max Eberly, a student who served as an Assistant Producer, saw the work as a great learning experience, and was proud that it showed students could take on something "larger scale and meaningful."
Cardenas agrees that it is uncommon for undergrads to be involved in a project of the magnitude of Tikvah. He hopes when the film is completed, to continue with other large-scale production efforts that can provide such effective learning opportunities for students.
Tikvah's current release date is the holiday season of 2007.
