Being a Film Major is Crazy Cool

Well, as you can see from the title of this post being a film production major comes with a lot of really fun bonuses. Tuesday was the premier in NYC of the new Clive Owen movie called Shoot'em Up. Being a film major in L.A gave me the unique opportunity to join in a 410 class called analysis of motion pictures. Basically me and a few people that I have made friends with and that are also film majors got to fill in the empty seats of Mayer Theatre (the small theatre in the film building) We were able to watch Shoot'em Up as it premiered in NYC and then act as a "focus group" by discussing how much we enjoyed it or hated it. For me it was like being a kid in a candy store. My friends and I were so stoked that we were able to get in and then actually join in on the discussion of this new movie with the professor who is a veteran in the Movie Biz.
Today in between classes I went back to Mayer Theatre and watched a really funny documentary that a grad student did on the amazing show the Price is Right. Basically he was able to go backstage, meet the legendary Bob Barker, and interview many people involved with the show including contestants and local hotel managers who often house Price is Right fanatics. It was absolutely hilarious and really fun break in between classes. I also got participate in Hall Brawls (a sort of field day between the freshman dorms) and played flag football. Playing was really fun but I often found myself during the game staring across the field and admiring the L.A. skyline and mountains. There was an amazing view from the field. Well that is about it for today. Thanks for reading.
