Thoughts about NYC from a Film Blogger

Editor of Firstshowing.net, Alex Billington, has published a refreshing love letter to the city we live in. Often, I hear of students who want to switch coasts in order to pursue their film career. The decision to work in the film industry is a personal one, whether we believe it or not. Long hours, freelance work, and tight deadlines force us to make life decisions that would be unheard of in most other professions. The experience of living in LA for three years professed that type of lifestyle (and the way they do business) was not for me. LA is car commuting city and I hate driving. The two sided nature of producers and studio executives hindered my growth as a filmmaker. As counter point, I still have several friends at Dreamworks and ILM who enjoy the abundance of networking opportunities with the saturated film business around them. Even our own instructor, Johnny Woods, has defected to the left coast and is doing fine. Both NY and LA are not for everyone, but I have to give props to those who love the city who will drive by in a cab on a rainy day and flip you off at the same time. I <3 br="br" nyc="nyc">

Moving Past Sandy

As we now enter the last phase of recovery after Hurricane Sandy, only now can we start collecting all our thoughts and feelings on such a devastating natural disaster. Many of us were affected in different ways, some more severely than others, but as we look back on what happened we should strive to find a silver lining. Like any experience, new feelings and thoughts can be channeled into something creative. Use this devastating experience to push your creativity and create something out of this situation.

As for those who are still affected by Sandy, you can give a helping hand here.

Director Talk for Students

The Bubble - Alumni Accomplishment

Alumni Phil Swift had a successful kickstarter campaign last year in which he raised $10K to create the feature documentary, The Bubble. The Bubble is about the town of Celebration, FL, created by the Disney Co. for Disney employees. The experience living in the town was supposed to mimic the experience of living in Disneyland itself. Phil's film uncovers the facade to reveal the fragile and honest underbelly of it's residents.

As a backer, I have been receiving updates on Phil's progress. He had a screening at Pixar studios and the premiere will be in Akron, OH on December 28th.
Congratulations, Phil!
