florida state of mind


everything is officially up and running over here at college, so "cowboys & indians" is back in business.

first and foremost, i'd like to bring the following items to your attention:

1. this court case is absolutely rediculous
(support the chungs or read more about their case here)
2. artist dan witz is a genius
3. the new p.t. anderson film, "there will be blood", has a brief trailer available here
4. in nairobi, the capital city of kenya, a group of 25 impoverished prostitutes appear to have a natural immunity to the HIV virus

okay.

so i'm all moved in and am hopefully going to begin working on the next episode of "wyoming".

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO IN COLLEGE:

The Blow - Parenthesis (Rory Phillips Remix

A Tribe Called Quest - The Jam (Consequence Remix)

Wilco - Please Be Patient With Me

College: The Film School Series (#1/3)


FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY

introduction:
Florida State is one of the three (film) schools I have looked at, visited, and applied to. Located in Tallahassee, FL (the state's capitol), the school is well known for its sports teams, frat parties, and good weather (as long as you aren't there in the summer). However, within this school populated with 20,000+ students, there is a very small group of kids (about 110) who are enrolled in a special program. These selected artists are a part of "The Film School", one of the most selective film schools in the world. With a freshman enrollment quota of 30 film students, the field is quickly and thoroughly cut down by the beginning of February, about 1 1/2 months after "The Film School's" application deadline. Towards the end of February, a small percentage of the initial applicants are examined further with an invitation to an in-person interview with some of the film school's faculty. In the end, only 6% of the applicants are accepted.

fun fact:
The school was funded and created by Florida's legistlature "to prepare men and women for successful careers in the film and television industries". The percentage of jobs acquired out of college is in the high 90%.

notable alumni:
The Film School alumni include screenwriters Ron Friedman (Brother Bear) and Melissa Carter (Little Black Book).

strengths:
- Small number of students
- Only film school to pay for all production costs
- Solid faculty
- High percentage of students acquiring jobs after college

weakness:
- Location, location, location (Tallahassee is so damn boring)

status: ACCEPTANCE PENDING (film program has given the green light, however the actual school needs to clear my transcript and SAT scores)
