California film school grieves death of student as it re-examines safety rules during shoots

Peng Wang, 29, from China, volunteered on a movie shoot done by USC students and died when the dune buggy he was riding overturned.

Students are grieving and officials at Chapman University’s film school are re-examining already strict safety rules after a student died in a dune buggy rollover crash on April 15 while assisting USC students on a movie shoot.

Chapman officials are assisting Wang’s parents with coming to the United States. The university plans to hold a memorial service when they arrive, Galloway said Tuesday, April 19. He said that since the tragedy, there has been discussion about whether to allow Chapman students to help film movies for other universities’ students. Practically speaking, Galloway said, that might be difficult to enforce, especially on projects that are being done outside of course work.
