How do I begin a blog after such a long absence? First, perhaps, I should offer an explanation. This semester has been completely overwhelming. I feel like I haven't had time for very basic things, like shopping for food, or getting enough vitamin d. I've been locked in a dark computer lab trying to organise my upcoming film 'Pen Pal'. I haven't socialized with anyone that doesn't study film at NYU for so long. My friend Tim came to visit a couple of weeks ago and it was so weird to talk about things other than film, actors and Tish gossip.
My reason for adding an entry after such a protracted period is this: I recently discovered that two people visit this site and read my blog! I am not talking to myself after all.
I presented my documentary in class about a month ago. I really thought it would be a complete disaster. The sound isn't great because our shotgun mic failed and only one of the séance participants would wear a radio mic. I was happily surprised by the feedback though. One of my teachers really liked the fact that most of the film took place in darkness. The other docs were wonderful and I will put some links up when they're posted online. I may even put 'Séance in the City' up even though it's very rough.
I had several ideas for the project that I was unable to use due to the limited time we had available for it. One of my classmates suggested I use those ideas for narrative projects and that's how I came upon my idea for 'Pen Pal'. I'll tell you more about it in a post tomorrow but right now I'm going to Shake Shack for dinner in the park. Spring has arrived!
About Me
- brookegoldfinch
- I am studying film at NYU but I won't be able to complete the course without AUSTRALIA’S help! The NYU grad film program is the best in the world, and the school has a long list of uber-successful graduates to prove it, including Martin Sorcese, Oliver Stone, Ang Lee and Joel Cohen. The University has given me a scholarship which will cover roughly a quarter of my fees for the three year program. So now I need to find the rest! Unfortunately I am not independently wealthy and there is no government funding available to me. That's where you come in. Sponsor me to get to NYU Film School and your name could appear in lights! For donations of $100 or more I’ll give you a film credit in my future films. But you will also receive a lot of good karma and kudos for contributing smaller amounts!
