The film discussion this week was easier than I anticipated
it to be. We all agreed on most of the films and the discussions for the ones
still in the running was short. This week, however, I don’t think there is any
way that the discussion won’t get heated. The operations staff has been working
on the video race specifications and getting that all squared away, but the
other part is not coming along as quickly. Doing the Lumina Contract is an
integral part of our festival and, after making numerous changes to the
original contract (V5), it is not ready to take to Sandra. This is where the
process has stalled since Sandra is a very busy woman with a limited amount of
time and hundred of e-mails a week. The real work will come into play after
this weeks class period when the filmmakers who have been accepted have to send
in their mediums. In this respect, the operations department will be in
overdrive to get the proper playing materials from filmmakers who have class,
jobs, and various other responsibilities. This will be increasingly difficult
with spring break approaching because not only will both Rob and I be out of
the country, but I’m sure other students will be enjoying their holiday as
well. Not only is that something to consider, but also the after party
technical inquires. I’m positive that Kebba has taken care of 99.9% of all of
that, but I want to make sure that she does not want any additional projection
or technical equipment.
