The Factory has some amazingly talented young filmmakers that come from East Bay middle and high schools. It has been surprising to me to see such great emerging talent from socially consciuous young individuals.
Here I have been assisting some students with basic software needs, and some production assistant work for shoots that the students that have done.
On a typical office day I perform resarch on film schools around the nation and create info packets on each school. This has been very helpful to me as well because I can see the wide variety of Masters programs that are available. I'm happy that I attend an art school such as CCA, but as Media Arts major I can't help but wonder what kind of trajectory my career would have if I would have chosen to attend a film school situated more within the industry. Questions such as this help me in organizing the information for the students that allows them to make the decision for themselves what kind of film education they would like to receive.
Aside from that, I have been doing some basic administrative work on a day to day basis. At times I step in during critiques of some of the films being made by the youth and give constructive input. Once again I can not stress enough on the understandng these kids have of the power of the moving image.
