The Day Before!!

I start film school tomorrow!

This seriously just clicked on Thursday. I was sitting in film school orientation, along with the other first year MFA and BFA students, and I thought, "I'm going to film school. At FSU. And I was chosen out of hundreds of writers." 

And I was finally very excited. It seriously only clicked then. I saw my cubby hole in the MFA office with my name on it, and I realized I had finally made it. 

Well, not made it, made it, but I'm on my way. 

I don't have my class schedule yet-- it changes every week. But I'm soooooo excited to see it and find out what I'm going to be doing this week!

Here's the general layout of the program: it's about six weeks of class, one week of Crew Drills, where you go to the sound stage and practice everything you learned in the first six weeks, and then six to eight weeks (I don't know the exact number) of filming D1 films, which are short films where you work on every position from doing camera, to producing, to production design, to lighting and sound, to editing. Everything. So that should be fun.

Anyway, stay tuned for more updates on my crazy life. It's gonna get seriously busy. :)
