Spotlight on Filmmaking Alumni Project

August 10, 2009 August 10, 2009 This Spring I worked on a  Practicum project with a few other standout CDIA alumni –Patricia Cohen and Elizabeth Renomeron from DC’s Film program, and Alec Francesconi from Boston’s Audio Production program. We worked on a video for Pyramid Atlantic, a print, papermaking and book binding arts non-profit in Silver Spring, MD. Everyone put a lot of work into this project and I think it really shows. The video is linked to their website, pyramidatlanticartcenter.org. It was shown in one of the theaters at American Film Institute (AFI) during a fundraising event. The fundraiser included a silent auction and a screening of the Beautiful Losers. It was a very special moment to see and hear our video play on the big screen in one of the area’s best movie theaters. And to watch it play right before such a spectacular documentary allowed us to see the quality of our work compared to other filmmakers in the business. I think it shored up pretty well.
