And so it begins...

I guess the adventure has begun. I got my first official e-mail from my Directing/Producing Warner Brothers class at USC. Apparently there are 26 people in the class and judging by the names there are a lot more girls than I expected. (yessssss) Ahem, anyways. I am now officially excited because the program looks AMAZING. We do multiple projects through the 6 weeks including each person making a one minute silent short, a commercial, 2 short films, breaking down a script, and then each person makes their own individual film throughout the entire course. We also get to shoot on the Warner Bros. lot. Check it out: http://cinema.usc.edu/uscwb/WBShoot.html

Here is my class website if you want to see what I will be doing: http://cinema.usc.edu/uscwb/Welcome.html

I'm currently trying to brainstorm story ideas, because for the Warner Brothers shoots 5 "story ideas" will be picked (by vote from the class) and as a class we will develop the stores into scripts and then shoot them! My professor already is accepting story ideas, so if you have anything clever let me know.

I can't wait to get down to USC! The class starts June 25th and goes through August 2nd and I'll be constantly updating with pictures and as much info as possible. And of course, if I'm able, anything I make will be on youtube! I have extremely high expectations for this summer program, there is nothing I've wanted to do this badly before, probably because I know this is where my true passion and desire lies. Some people have heard that I'm taking this class and say "Oh that sucks you have to take summer school", but honestly I've never once thought of this as summer school, because I get to do something I've dreamed of doing for years! A lot is going to happen this summer, I'm going to meet a lot of new people, learn all about film from practically every aspect (we even get to act in some of the short films!) and live with a 28-year old roommate. Needless to say, there should be some good stories to tell when it's all said and done. But this is just the beginning, check back regularly for updates. Enjoy summer, kids!
