To The Point
Good beat. I could see the point. Sometimes belabored the point. But I like it.

Fast Forward Critique

I am always anxious about the critique process with the students. It is the first time that I get to see what the body of work will be for the final screening. The year's work comes to the screen for the first time. Each student sees his/her work up next to that of his peers'. It is a stressful day for all, both teacher and filmmaker, and yet each year I leave the crit excited, relieved, impressed and energized. This year was no different.

Whoa! Damn.

Being a teenager is a decade-long social experiment. As both a teacher and a video artist, I accept my active role in this experimentation.
