her celluloid self

Got this lovely homemade card today from one of my students. It's been great watching her find her footing and love for filmmaking. I really dig teaching. (at Cornell University)

"A Little Princess" holding up a beauty of a jade plant. (at Ithaca, New York)

I loved @petesouza's beautiful collection of photos of the Obama Presidency. "Obama: An Intimate Portrait" is a power documentation of American history. I literally balled like a baby in the hundred pages or so. Ugly crying. Weeping and wailing. Gnashing of teeth. I miss an intelligent and articulate adult leading this country. @barackobama and @michelleobama you are sorely missed. (at Ithaca, New York)

A @cornellpma Documentary Filmmaking student shared his setup for an interview. He remarked later in class that it's worth the effort, all the lights and everything, to get a great image. 😜 They've come a long way this semester. But nary a sandbag on any of those C-stands. 😒 #pma3571_f17 #CUatTheSchwartz #litegear #documentary #filmmaking #cornell (at Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, Cornell University)

Excited to announce that Sweet, SweetFilm School Shorts Country is screening in this season of @kqedofficial’s Film School Fest (S05E08). It’s been five years since we made SSC but she’s still screening in festivals ever so often and now she’s gonna be screening in almost 50% of the PBS markets in the country. Still one of the best filmmaking experiences I’ve had to date. Starring my muse, @danielledeadwyler and @gbengaakinnagbe (The Wire, The Deuce). 🎥 Please forgive me as I’ll be posting when and where the film is screening as I’m given updates on the stations and dates. So you'll be seeing a little bit more of SSC over the next few months. 🎥 We’re in EPISODE 8: BORDER CROSSINGS. 🎥 -----OCTOBER-----
