Back to school I go.... Share
I had the great honor of being asked to participate in a panel discussion on "Launching Your Creative Career" at Boston University's Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) this week. In attendance were over 80 current students and recent graduates from the Photography, Digital Filmmaking, 3D Animation, Graphic & Web Design, and Audio Production.
Joining me on the panel, was an amazing group of dynamic and talented group of professionals, all alumns from the various programs: Anthony Marquette, Rory Fitz-Gerald, Kat-Alix Gaudreau, Shauna McNamara, Cody Signore, and Benjamin Greenspan.
It was enthralling to hear the panel share their experiences and recent projects, many have been working on the "The Surrogates" a Sci-Fi thriller starring Bruce Willis. Did you know that in 2008, there were 8 major motion pictures filmed in the greater Boston area? We are becoming know as Hollywood East.
Then the evening switched to networking, giving students a chance to meet fellow students from other programs and chat with the presenters. It was exciting to meet so many photography students and to see their enthusiasm for their art. For a moment, I wished I could go back to school and be immersed in the creative environment that CDIA creates. I would love to take Filmmaking.
Kudos to Bruce Jaranian with CDIA for organizing this amazing event.
