My first week
First week at BDFI was very exciting, meeting classmates and upper-level students that I will be working with over the course of the next 16 months. I was very pleased to find that most if not all of the people I met were very serious about the prospect of making films, and yet they were very relaxed and not uptight or fearful of the process. Though I anticipate struggles and much hard work it is good to know going in that I will be surrounded by peers and faculty who want the best of what I can give and yet seem knowing enough that I will do things differently than they would, and that acceptance of difference is key. Another thing that I am finding key to the BDFI experience is the general lack of competitiveness at the school, Patrick and the other faculty seem to want the best out of everyone, and not just a select few.
