Young Voters in Chicago

So as a part of this resurgence of blog posts, I want to begin posting some of the short projects I have done over the last few years.  I will kick it off with a more recent project, Young Voters in Chicago.

With the extreme importance of this recent election, Flashpoint Academy sent us out into the world to see what people were doing about the campaigns, candidates, and future of our country.  We found 4 young voters who had some very different opinions.  This ultimately made for a more entertaining project.

Hope you enjoy!

Welcome back, Mr. Meincke

Long time no post....

I begin this afternoon with just a brief update on the newest Flashpoint project, The Couch.

This program is a small session, geared towards reviewing upcoming and currently released films in the domestic market.  Although we will have a main series focusing on the various upcoming mainstream films (they will be judged upon their theatrical trailers), there will also be some small side sessions, where others will voice praise or dislike for a recently released film.  We are filming two sessions, of which I hope both are able to be posted online here at the site for your viewing pleasure.  I'll keep you posted!

In other news, Flashpoint has been gearing up for the final stretch of its inaugural class.  While students have been preparing resume's, business cards, and portfolios, Flashpoint has been getting ready for sending them out into the working world - or at least out to the interview.

We shall see what develops for the first class of Flashpoint in the coming months.

More to come.  Promise.
