What do you do with a BA in Film

What do you do with a BA in English... we've all heard that before. But what do you do with a BA in Film. Seriously, why did I go to college. A question I asked everyday up to this point. I love film, movies, digital, lights, camera, action, editing... but yea why did I MAJOR in it. Maybe I should of stuck with computer science.

I'm excited to graduate, but I'm afraid for what is next. What WILL be next. Today it took me two hours to figure out what I wanted to wear, how can I make decisions about my LIFE.

It's all so scary and exciting at the same time. I think I may just pack up and try my luck somewhere. Maybe LA or move back to New York, maybe even London. I can do anything I put my mind to.

Here's to you college degree and nice a nice chunk of debt.
Cheers.

MSP International Film Festival

So I'm sure I'm THE WORSE Minneapolis raised filmmaker ever, but hey, we all have our flaws. BRIGHT SIDE I found this out BEFORE it happened. [two points for me!]
The 2011 Minneapolis-St. Paul Film Festival. It runs from April 14th-May 5th at St. Anthony Main Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. So if you're in MN visiting or live there, you should stop by and take a gander at some awesome independent international films.

Here's the Trailer, made by a friend of mine:)

Black Star Power - Steppin: The movie

So myself and my best friend were watching this TERRIBLE movie called Steppin': The Movie.
Wait, is it based off Steppin' the show or something?? Besides the point, the only thing keeping us engaged was the fact that so many famous black stars kept appearing. What made me think back to films in the 1950's. You watched a film, even if it was bad because your favorite star was in the film...not because the quality of the film. I just hope when I make films I can get all of those wonderful people together to create a great or at least tolerable film.

This is Late: THE OSCARS

Javier Bardem should of won best actor. His performance was so much better and his character...I mean come on, he was WAY better than Collin Firth. And That's just how it is.

And I recently seen the editing for The Social Network. I agree with that award. The film did stink. I felt like I was reading a bad autobiography, except they turned it into a movie and put Justin Timberlake in it so I would keep watching.

The King's Speech was a good movie, but I feel like only 3 good films came out this year, depressing really. I'm gonna need to start making films so I can stop complaining.

p.s. James Franco is a sexy beast. but that movie is TERRIBLE.
