My First Day
It’s Monday night, and I am still buzzing with energy after my first day of class at BDFI. My passion for the art of filmmaking led me to BDFI last spring for a visit and after sitting in on classes and meeting the students, I was hooked. I must say, I think Patrick has brought in an amazing group of students; everyone seems passionate, excited and ready to get down to business. I love the diversity of the group of students, different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences.
We started out the morning with introductions and a quick overview of the semester. Patrick clearly conveyed his expectations, which will help each of us reach our goals of becoming filmmakers and professionals. This semester is going to be challenging and exciting, as we get into the groove of filmmaking. We will be taking our ideas through every stage of filmmaking, which will allow us to get a full sense of the filmmaking process.
Later in the day we had a mixer with the upperclassman, which was a great opportunity to ask questions and get to know everyone at the school. I love the fact that all the students are incredibly open and friendly, ready to give advice and lend a helping hand.
As the mixer ended, all ten of us decided to grab lunch at the café across the street. This was great way to the end of the day, giving us a chance to talk and laugh, releasing a lot of the nervous excitement. I am really excited to get going and start working with my fellow classmates. I’m sure we will all become a great team and support base for one another.
