There's something strange and magical about sitting or lying down on the floor and let all your emotions pour out of you. I don't know whether it's because we're closer to the ground, closer to earth, but I find my comfort on the ground. Maybe it's the hardness of the floor, but I find sitting on a seat is comfortable, but not comforting. Maybe it' ( Read more... )

I cannot believe how amazing it was to go to a film festival like this one. I met young, aspiring filmmakers, filmmakers with a respected name, avid film enthusiasts, and saw some spectacular documentaries and narrative films.

Waking up in the morning the first thing I noticed was SNOW! In the middle of October? What?? This was just the ( Read more... )

Finally the last day of The Fighter!! I'm really glad it's over. Office work isn't right for me. Oh well, at least I can write on my resume that I worked on a Paramount Pictures film and maybe/hopefully we'll see my name in the credits? Possibly? We'll see in 2010. So right now I want to do color correction and LA deadline is soon approaching. Once ( Read more... )

Film II was the craziest, emotional ride of the semester. I have never cried so much, put so much effort into a single class. This class showed the best and the worst in all of us. From pre-production to post-production, it was the most stressful class I had ever taken, but I'm glad I took it with Robert Patton-Spruill because it taught me a lot of ( Read more... )

I thought my mom threw it away, but I found it today!!! It's funny how most people go forward with new technology especially with digital cameras, but when I found our old Polaroid camera, it felt like Christmas again. I love how it still works and it's so old! The box has a picture that says "Camping trip '92!" It's so depressing that Polaroid ( Read more... )

Yesterday was probably the most miserable film shoot to date (worse than the freak weather of Sunday in Utopia). The day before was when I realized that my light meter wasn't working probably so I had to find someone who has one.. Mid way arriving on location, I realized I brought the wrong film so I had to take the bus and the T back to my room in ( Read more... )

The other day at my internship, the credit card for the production was declined for some reason (I think the reason was they were afraid of fraud). So, the production coordinator decided to lie and pretend to be the producer who's credit card's name is under. He was armed with social security numbers and all the personal information of the producer ( Read more... )

I constantly worry about my future. I am scared that I won't be where I want to be. People left and right are getting fantastic internships, working on some amazing sets, and doing great things. I feel underachieved. What if I work this hard and I'll never make it ( Read more... )
