Will @ Sundance!

hey guys whats up. sorry for not blogging. its been busy over here at reelworks. one class is finishing up and another is starting. well thanks to the good folks at listenup i was able to go to sundance. lListen Up! is a youth media network that connects young video producers and their allies to resources, support, and projects in order to develop the field and achieve an authentic youth voice in the mass media. 

if you work at a youth media organization you should definatly  get involved with them. you can find out more at listenup.org. yea sundance was amazing. the trip was funded by adobe youth voices and we had to get a mentor and make a video. that was the boring part of the trip. i saw about 6 movies and they were all great. a couple of them are coming out in theatres. i met alot of people. i represented reelworks every possible second i was at sundance. spoke to alot of filmmakers. alot of them were intrested in becoming a mentor at reelworks. overall it was the best experience of my life. sundance made me realize that i want to be a filmmaker. last week there was a deadline for " the Lot" a reality tv show that steven spielberg is doing about filmmakers 13 and up. i had to submit a short film. my doc was to long and to vulgar so i had 1 week to write shoot and edit another. so i made some calls got some of the most talented people i know. a great cameraman and the greatest make up artists under 20. with 50 bucks i made a cool zombie movie. it didnt turn out as good as i intended but it will do. i'll try to put it up so you guys can watch it if you want. well i hope this blog makes up for not blogging in a while

Hey Will,

I checked out the Adobe site and I didn't see you in any of the videos...are you behind the scenes? Can you insert some links to your stuff? Got any photos?

Also, your profile is great (http://www.reelideasstudio.com/profileWill.php) but man, tell 'em your a VISTA!

PS How was the NYC Grassroots Media conference over the weekend? Anything good to share with the other Digital Media VISTAs on the call this Friday?
