Hello Everyone!
I spent today trying to enjoy my last few moments with my fellow cherubs. I am going to miss this place so much. I am at home here, and I think it's one of the best learning environments i've ever experienced, and that says a lot. Every day, I was living and breathing film education- what I went through here would have been torture for a lot of people, but for me and everyone else here, it was an incredible experience. I can look back on it and say that yes, I was a cherub, and I loved it.
Tomorrow is the final showing- it goes all day, and we will watch everything that got created at NHSI this summer. That includes the experimental films, the documentaries, the silent films, the bolex films, and our final projects.
My final project is finished- I got out of the editing room at 10:30 last night, and my project is all compressed and ready for tomorrow. If I could go back, I would change a lot about my script- seeing it on film exposes a lot of the flaws of my story, and the story is the core of every film. However, I learned so much about the process that if I get the chance to make another film, I will hopefully be able to do it better.
I really, really don't want to leave. I miss my family and friends, and can't wait to see them, but I wish the program could be at least a week to two weeks longer. I've gotten very accustomed to life in the dorms, too- the food isn't too bad, and the beds and rooms are comfortable. I miss good meat, though. Cafeterias do not have good meat. Although the cafeteria cookies are very addicting, and i've really taken advantage of the fact that my parents paid for my food already, so I could eat as many cookies as I wanted, with no other repercussions besides my health and weight.
I'm going to head to bed soon because I know I won't sleep much tomorrow night. I'll let you know how the screening goes.
Molly
