39. I Miss Filmmaking in Michigan
9 months ago
My last year of college I worked with a small group of artists and we made films together. It was the best group of friends/filmmakers I ever got to work with. It was so much fun and I miss them so very very much. Now we are so far away from each other...California, Michigan, different parts of Canada....etc.

One day we'll be together again.

I miss them.

    Great stuff Karen, where did you go to college?
  • I went to school at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI.

    I've been to Grand Rapids many times and I never knew Calvin had filmmaking. Looking at your work I can tell it must be a great place to learn.
  • Actually...they didn't until recently.

    Their Video Production major started the year I graduated, so I wasn't able to Major in it...but I took all the production classes that I could and even did two independent studies...as an excuse to learn more on my own and get credit for it..... I didn't get into it until my Junior Year of college. Sometimes I feel like it was too little too late. But it's alright. I always look at it this way, make the most of your resources and it's up to you to excel in what you love. The professors are really amazing. The facilities are top notch. But the stuff that comes out of there is pretty meh. Most of my favorite work that I've made were done outside of school with these guys. haha. But calvin is getting better. Actually Filmmaking in general in Grand Rapids has really progressed in the last year...in leaps and bounds. I miss michigan a lot.

    "Make the most of your resources and it's up to you to excel in what you love." That remark exactly sums up my New Year's resolution. Thanks for saying it so well.

    btw, I "liked" this about 28 secs in and was enchanted throughout.
  • Awww :-) Yeah A lot of times I used to think..if i had a better camera i could make cooler videos or if i had a better whatever...

    it's not even that anymore..its conceptual and what you do with what you have!

    nothing should stop you from doing things that make you so happy!


    Yeay Faye have a great new years!

  • hey do you do the compass academy 24 hour film fests?
  • Stephen Niebauer 9 months ago
    No, I don't, why?

    Should I?
  • Yeah you should. It's totally fun. put together a group of friends and make a film in 24 hours. you should check out the compass academy's site they have them every semester.

    plus if you rawk you can win monies.

    i think it costs $50 to do it though.

    Wow ...

    After the endless calamities and inherent brutality of Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola made his most personal film - it starred Terri Garr and Frederick Forest -- and was called "One From The Heart".

    This is your One From The Heart :-)
  • aww again with the kind words. my heart is too big for my own good.
