So for most of the week I have spent my free time getting as many festival directors as I could to agree to let our lovely class members interview them on their management and jurying practices. Not only will this be a great way to figure out who we want to be (and what we ought to be) as Visions6, but it's also going to provide us with an amazing amount of data that might later be useful in writing up an article about festival and conference practices.
To make it even more fantabulous, the assignment allows everyone in the class to reach out as 1) an advocate from UNCW/FST/Visions, 2) young, up-and-coming filmmakers/scholars who may present at their fests/conf someday and 3) individuals who might someday work at one of these events.
These foundational elements always make us just that much better each year...so do your research and seize this opportunity.
I realize this post is a little on the peppy side...but whatever...Go team!
