Week 3

Interview Reflection

I really enjoyed interviewing the Take21 Student Film Festival’s art director, James Schultz. He provided insightful information about the improvements he wishes to apply to this festival. It is for young filmmakers, ages 12-21, and he hopes the festival will soon be student-run as well. He was very interested with Visions and wants to learn more about how, as a student-run festival, manage and organize it. After our talk, he said he wishes to stay in contact with us at Visions and to perhaps build a partnership.

Progress Update


This week, I researched universities with film programs along the East coast. Since Visions partnered with the University of Florida, I was inspired to partner with another far-distant school. The only issue with the northern university is our limited budget. I am hoping we can raise more funds in order to make visiting Drexel University (PA) or Champlain College (VT) a possibility. However, the more reasonable potential partner schools I found are the University of South Carolina Columbia, University of North Carolina School of Arts, and George Mason University. The Virginia Commonwealth University is another option I would like to consider, but I believe we have partnered with the school before for another Visions. I will continue to build on my research and perhaps find a suitable partner school that is both (somewhat) distant, but within a reasonable budget.
