Week 7

This week was a long but also great week. We have officially programmed the selections for this year Visions Film Festival and Conference. Some films that made it through are not my favorites but the ones that won awards really make me happy. I feel like we have some pretty strong thought provoking blocks so that is good. That being said this week I had to send rejection notification e-mails to the paper people. I hope they are not discouraged by it. One thing I have realized is that databases are unpredictable. When we first compiled it we had some issues that we had to fix. I was under the impression they were fixed until I got a facebook post from Shannon and she was experiencing technical difficulties. Somehow the addresses for some of our entries got mixed up. Luckily my team was ready to help me fix things and look over the data. We were still having some trouble identifying some of the addresses so I sent an e-mail to find out where they are currently living. Some people only posted their city which makes no sense but I am on top of it. Another thing I did was pitch the new idea for the installation seeing as to how we wanted to incorporate the Art of Motion and showcase it there. Everyone said they liked the idea and Rob and Michelle are interested in helping me with it. I think the concept I am working from could shape out to be beautiful. Another thing I did this week was addressed the envelopes for poster mail out. It did not take too long with the help of my team they actually finished it a lot quicker than me. Another thing I did this week was prepared for my meeting with Beth. I went through my resume and made some revisions to the style and tone of it. I also made sure to read the post and create questions about not only linked in and the job search but also about Beth's career. I was ready to tackle a myriad of topics but with only thirty minutes we only got to the resume. I hope we get another chance at consultations again. I feel like it was very useful to me and helped give me some confidence. All in all it was a good and eventful week.
