Issue #211 – Apprentices in Action
by Liya Swift
Film Connection student Tonea Melvin who externs with at Dean Ronalds Falling Up Films (Manhattan, NY) Is blazing full steam ahead and we love her energy! “I haven’t pulled so many all-nighters since high school, and I am kind of loving it…I am a huge planner; I plan everything-even when I know it’s not going to go to plan. So I have mounds of papers on my desk right now, all color coordinated, with paper clips and binder clips flying everywhere. I’m enjoying taking my characters apart and making massive character charts, drawing maps and outlines, all the things that go into figuring out which archetypes fit where in my stories…now I get to really play around with my characters’ worlds. I can’t wait until I can quit my job at Target and write all day, because building these worlds is so much fun! …I also plan on shooting my first commercial this week, so stay tuned for that video!”
In a recent blog post entitled “The Bittersweet End,” soon-to-be Film Connection graduate Jessica Wise had this to say: “My time with Film Connection is coming to a close. It’s impossible to put into words just how much I have learned and experienced through this program and with Wrigley Media Group. I’m glad I got to witness firsthand all that goes on in a production company and how films and commercials are shot, edited, and distributed. It was all way more insightful than anything I could have been taught in a classroom. It’s weird to say bye to it all but I am looking forward to the world that awaits!…
I’m ready to finalize my script and set up a meeting with a producer! I’m equal parts scared and excited!”
