Week 3

This week has been rather eventful. My team and I lead our first round of jurying and I did my best to give them a good example to follow after. One thing I have noticed while jurying the films is that people do not read the rules all the way through. Many people have submitted directly to filmfreeway instead of providing actual password protected vimeo links. I e-mailed all of those filmmakers that i saw had not submitted correctly and demanded a vimeo link. I also have had trouble proving some entries were undergraduate films. I quickly drafted up an e-mail of inquiry as well to make sure they could be qualified or disqualified. I also had the duty of organizing the papers for jurying this week. I am disheartened because not everyone submitted their final paper. I plan to give the stragglers until midnight tomorrow night. Hopefully they send them in if not I guess they will be making our jobs a little easier. One big problem we have been having is with the film submissions database. Somehow it keeps messing up the ID numbers. I had to  find an old revision and start back over from there which was very frustrating because upon fixing it there it messed up once more. After a few more tries it began to work better I will be going back through it in the morning just to make sure. I am excited however because we will possibly get done with the jurying process a week early which gives us more time. We also got some great news in this week directors meeting that I can't wait for the class to find out about. I also made sure to prepare Jessica for her first time leading jurying I know she will do great. I am excited about the resume assignment I am just getting started and hope that this really helps me solidify a job after graduation.
