Visions Event Recap

So it was one thing to have volunteered for Visions, it's another to really be a part of the team! Visions5 was incredible and it was amazing to see all of our hard-word really paying off as the Festival Day unfolded before us. We were all up at 6 a.m. or earlier in preparation for the big day, shepherding our scholars and filmmakers to campus, making sure all our tech was working properly, everything was being taken care of by our dedicated V5 staff.
As marketing assistant, I worked with Hillary during the day of the event interviewing all of the filmmakers and scholars that we had presenting/show casing their work at the festival. While it was kind of a bummer not being able to watch the majority of the festival, it was a really amazing insight into the creative minds behind our papers and films that were exhibitioned at Visions5.
My personal favorite, was the interview with Stephen Goza, the director of Psychodiagnostik Sunsets.  He is such a unique and artistic individual, and while I was not a fan of his film at first, it definitely grew on me and to hear his intent with his film and being able to hear his process really made me appreciate his genius as a filmmaker.
Thursday night dinner and the after party, I feel, were the best social aspects of the Visions5 experience. During both events I, along with the rest of the staff, were able to really talk with and get to know our fellow film enthusiasts from all over the state and from across the globe!
Honestly, Visions5 as a whole was just amazing. I can't believe that I was a part of something so huge and I hope to work with all of my fellow classmates again in the future!

Week 13

So Visions5 is this Friday! Holy cow this semester went by so fast. In preparation for the big day, I'll be drafting up two blog posts: one which will be a "Visions is Coming!" post, and the other will be a recap for our Spring Bake Sale. Just some quick little blurbs to generate that last bit of publicity that we can to draw in our audience! I'm so excited to be working behind the scenes this year. I remember volunteering two years ago and having the time of my life, and now I'll be an active member of the Visions team! Gonna keep thinking calming, positive thoughts, and the show will go on!

Week 12

Got the Spring Bake Sale post up on the blog ahead of schedule! Due to scheduling conflicts I was unable to interview EK in person about the awards but I wrote up a short questionnaire for her to fill out that will be posted to the blog as soon as she finishes. I will be drawing up a questionnaire for Emma and Melissa as well about the after party. Now that things are slowing down (at least a little bit) at Visions I am more than willing to take on any other tasks that are needed in order to help the festival run smoothly come the 17th!
