Click the link, and get to know the site.  One of my good friends Alec Siegel is one of the writers and producers.

Very exciting stuff, and quite a stellar website.

Notebaert Nature Shoot

Just wanted to give a quick update.

Over the last month we have been working with the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to film a series of 90 second shorts that will be displayed on the website and at the Museum.  Here's a few pictures to show you what we've been up to.

More to come,

Reflection

It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks, but very productive, nonetheless.  We are in the final stretch of the first year at Flashpoint, and I am already so busy that my schedule has filled the summer.

In fact, my schedule actually filled up way back at the end of January.

After being here for a year, and reflecting on my time at Flashpoint, I can proudly say that it is much more than a school.  I don't feel like I come here to do school work, I come here to better myself as a filmmaker, and as a person.  I am in a workplace, and I work with students and faculty to bring projects together.

I have been on 3 internships, two of which will continue into the summer, and I have worked on at least 10 short films over the course of the last 9 months.  I have set up and run a weekly film screening for the school and crafted a plan for a student government.  I am tired, but I am adjusting, and I feel far more qualified to be in this business than I did a year ago.

What Flashpoint Academy provides now for me is a path, which is my choice, of course.  I just don't know what it should be.  So, as we reach the end of the first chapter at Flashpoint, the time for reflection has begun.

A decision soon,
