icarus & the tree herder

this is a background from an awesome student film from calarts..the reason i like calarts so much is because they require students to make a short film every year..i seriously think if rmcad required us to do that, the quality &/or quantity of things being produced here would increase drastically. which is something we need. if rmcad wants to be put on the map, we need to start creating something worth noticing. and i think shorts are the way to do it. even if they are terrible, they're still more appealing than a bunch of tests...calarts also requires students to submit their work to film festivals or shows. as of right now, rmcad is only talking about requiring that...luckily all my motivation and inspiration doesn't come from school. which is why ive created goals for myself...im going to make a film each year and submit them to festivals...ive already done pretty well with that..i have three or four shorts under my belt, all at varying quality, but at least i have that much. which is saying more than most here.
