Issue #78 – Student Successes
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
When Film Connection graduate Huan Tran first showed up for his apprenticeship with Jason Hewitt of Films in Motion in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he was a completely open book. He didn’t have a clue what he wanted to do. He just knew he wanted to work in film.
“I jumped around a lot,” he says. “Honestly, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. So Jason basically was like, ‘You know what? Try out everything and see what fits you best.’ And that was the best thing to do.”
That’s exactly what Huan did. “Jason put me [first] into post production—editing and coloring,” says Huan. “Editing is—either you have it or you don’t….It was fun, but it just wasn’t for me. So I went from that to set designing, which is the art department. I had a blast there, but I just didn’t see myself doing this.”
That’s about the time Huan met Jason’s fiancee, Lisa Marie Dupree, who was doing casting for the company. Almost immediately, things clicked into place.
“She was looking for a casting assistant because she was casting Left Behind. Each day, actually four days straight, she was casting 200 people per day,” says Huan. “So basically I helped her pick up the phone and start casting people, by phone and by email. And she was like, ‘Wow, you’re actually pretty good at this.’…I’m a people person. I’m very social, so I mean, it’s a skill that I have that I can read people pretty well.”
