Post-Programming

This week was especially difficult in terms of class relations. There are so many conflicting ideas of what a good film is, no matter what genre. Needless to say, when people disagree on films during a nine-hour time period where we are all in the same room together, it was bound to be slightly difficult. However, I am happy to say that I believe there is no bad blood between myself and any of the other members of the class. In fact, I thought it was funny when I was talking to other class members that I had disagreed with and they expressed their relief that I didn’t hate them for their opinion. I think it’s important to acknowledge how stressful deciding moments like that can be in any career. Especially when you have to work with people on a regular basis. But, that’s neither here nor there. The class itself was stressful, draining and long, but we got through so much material that it was totally worth it. I am excited to contact the filmmakers so I can to get the proper format of their work for Lumina and also tell them congratulations. But this is where the real work starts in terms of my job as Lumina tech. Now I need to start making sure our plans are rock solid before the festival. When Sandra Jackson confirms our reservation and we can really start planning, things will start to move along much quicker. So, from one stressful class to the true beginning of my operations job, I’m ready to take on the work to come.
