Second Cut...
If you’re a filmmaker you’ve had to edit. I’ve always thought the first cut was always the hardest, just for the fact that you’re starting out with nothing put together and a million possibilities. However, in editing Moses Cove I’ve found editing my second cut has been one of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to do. The first cut is a matter of putting...
So...exciting news!
So I was looking through my e-mail when I got home from class. I was mostly hoping to see e-mails back from managers and landlords with costs of apartments. However, I came across this e-mail.
Dear Christy –
It is with great pleasure that we inform you that “The Pardoner’s Tale” has been selected to be the spring senior narrative project. We are giving thought to who the remainder of your team...
So now that my pitch is over...
It went really well. My screenwriting teacher, Terry, who had read my script in the previous class praised it in front of everybody and my directing teacher, Jack, said that he was confident in me as a filmmaker.
So we’ll have to see how well it actually went when we hear the results in about a month or two.
So Pitching...
It’s in two hours. I’m a nervous wreck. I’m practicing my pitch right now in my room. I seriously have no clue how it’s going to go. Wish me luck!
Pitching...Pitching...PITCHING!!!
Holy crap, it’s tomorrow. I’m very nervous. I feel fairly prepared but we’ll see how much of my brain dies when I’m standing in front of all of the professors tomorrow.
Electives...what?
So, we have advising day next week. I’ve been doing the math and I need at least 23 hours to graduate. I have about 11 hours of classes left in my major, including internship. So I have about 12 hours of electives to take next year in order to get enough hours to graduate. So I actually have to search for classes to take instead of filling up with classes from my major. So I actually get to...

Is just a reminder that my boyfriend is across the country. Long distance relationships are hard.

Lack of Sleep...catching up.
So, I’ve been lacking sleep this weekend, getting up early and partying late. I was trying to work on stuff for pitching but then my head started hurting and now I feel exhausted. Well, at least I got stuff accomplished with one of my pitches today.

Ahhh, Pitching!
It’s in a week. I can’t help but be nervous. At least I know for sure that I have two stories to pitch. One which I wrote and the other I didn’t.
I can’t wait for pitching to be over, I just want to know if I get to Direct or not.
Too Early...
I’ve got to be at the studio tomorrow at 9am for my Music and Audio class. My earliest class this semester is 11am…so yes 9am is early for me. I also have to narrate a fake kleenex commercial…fun.

NBC Universal
I have bombarded you with my applications, basically applying for every production internship you had to offer. So yeah, you should let me work for you for free (unless you want to pay me).

Internships, Thesis, Editing, Ahh!!
Life as a filmmaker is hard. I do have to remind myself at times that though I am stressed I am doing what I love.
I am still in the process of applying for internships. I just applied to Warner Bros. yesterday. I checked Pixar yesterday for fun but usually they only have animator or computer program internships. When I checked yesterday though they had the editorial internship for this summer!!...
