So, about 3 weeks before my Film Festival was to take place, the school board has decided to shut it down completely, due to the “lack of educational value, the negative outcomes like lawsuits, and the availability of the films in general”. I cannot express my anger and disappointment right now!
What is even worse is that I am even going to interview my Idol and Academy Award Winner Tilda Swinton over Skype about it!! I sent her agent an email telling him and her about the Film Festival, and she was so touched she wants to meet me! I’M GOING TO MEET TILDA SWINTON!!
And apparently an Oscar Winning Actress backing you up on such a project isn’t enough to get a Film Festival approved according to the School Board!
On the upside, after shooting and then re-shooting, I am finally in the editing stage of my Short Film “The Artist Fantastic”! I’ve just spent the last 7 hours converting my footage into a format that my editing software will accept, and am currently in the process of editing!
The film stars my art teacher Ms. Rohr, and I must say she does look rather stunning in a way! I will post screenshots soon, so keep an eye out!
So, yeah, a lot of mixed emotions right now.
