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!
