Week 15

With the semester coming to an end, I believe I am close to my goal and about to officially confirm the College Tour dates! Giovanna has been a godsend with her flexibility and generous offers.

I am extremely excited to take part in George Mason University's PA Training Workshop event! Not only is it at a discount price of $75 (originally $150), but will also provide the Visions staff with a license to work as a PA on professional large sets. This is an great opportunity for all of us hoping to achieve a career in film production.

There are only a few minor details to confirm for the College Tour, such as lodging, who is attending, GMU classroom reservations, scheduling a meeting with the DKA film fraternity at GMU, and completing my presentation.

Once I get approval from the other Directors, I believe I will change the tour date to Friday, February 19th, to Monday, February 22nd. This is the time Giovanna believes will be the most beneficial for our trip. She also said this will maximize attendance to our Visions Film Festival & Conference presentations.

Now it is time to think ahead and begin to prepare for the Spring semester :)

Week 14

With the semester coming to an end, I am left with little to do. Although, I am already starting to think ahead for the Spring Semester. Michelle and I have been discussing that we should begin designing the CineMixer flyer over Winter Break. We need to have the design finalized before the first week of the Spring semester in order to get the flyers approved and printed off in time before the event. I believe that the Art department as a whole should also begin basic conceptualization for the other items required for Visions6 such as stickers, t-shirts, the Visions6 poster, etc.

I wish I could have finalized a College Tour date for today's class, but I believe my email to Giovanna has been lost in the shuffle due to Thanksgiving break and it being finals time. I will send her a follow-up email tonight to confirm we will be interested in attending February 18-20th. I will also ask her for a few classes in which we could do our Visions6 presentation during this time. Her generosity towards us as filmmakers is absolutely astounding and I am so thankful she is taking the extra time to make sure we benefit from this partnership as much as George Mason University. I hope I can completely confirm the college tour before I leave for Cabo on the 12th.
