University Heights is a 2004 American drama film written and directed by Scott Beck (in his feature directorial debut).
University Heights boasts a sweeping ensemble cast in the story of four lives on a college campus - a drug-dealing professor, a teacher struggling with his homosexuality, a drug-abusing student, and a bigot trying to escape his hateful tendencies.
Chronicled with tales of love, loss, abuse, and frayed relationships, University Heights is ultimately a story of redemption.
The film was shot entirely in Iowa and many scenes were filmed at the University of Iowa.
Beck and partner Bryan Woods secured a deal with MTV Films after winning MTVU's Best Film on Campus competition with the film.
