Cade Loven

Cade studied business management at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and cinema at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. After returning to Decorah, Cade was approached by the Oneota Film Festival to develop and facilitate a 15-week course to teach middle- and high-school students basic film craft and theory (which he taught for two years). The resulting films his students made were then screened at a special block of the festival, with a Q&A for the students. Cade wrote and directed an original short, THE EDGE, in 2014 and screened it at the Oneota Film Festival in 2014.
