Supervisor of Social Media Promotions


So far, my work on the film festival has been mainly promotional. I've created the Facebook page to promote our festival, and created a FB event for the festival that people can RSVP to, as well as sending out letters to potential donors.

LOG LINE

A city girl with an easy life finds herself alone in a small country town, she soon befriends a group of cowboys, and learns that they need help taking down the corrupt gunslinger who is terrorizing the town. Eventually, the girl and her friends infiltrate the gunslinger’s saloon, and save the town from his wrath.

BOB: The Documentary

Log line: "Bob: A normal guy, with a normal (?) life."

Treatment: The film will open with the camera searching for Bob at school. Nobody knows where he is, and some don't know even who he is. With this film we want to highlight the life of Bob, and the quirky things he does in his daily life. We will use interviews with people from school, along with his family members. We want our film to be humorous and to reflect his life, and how it affects other people. We also want to have people say things in their interviews that contradict what Bob is actually like, and show the irony in that. At the end of the film we want the audience to feel connected to Bob and see how down-to-earth he is. 

Bill Cunningham New York

One of my favorite documentaries of all time is "Bill Cunningham New York." This observational, or "cinema verite" documentary directed by Richard Press follows the legendary fashion photographer Bill Cunningham around the streets of New York City. Bill Cunningham rides around NYC on his bike every day, capturing images of unique street style. He then compiles his most exciting photographs into his own section called "On the Street with Bill Cunningham" in the New York Times.

I really like this documentary because of how the bright colors and crisp images in the film reflect Bill's style of photography, and because I hope to pursue fashion photography at some point in my life. The film highlights Bill's dedication to his craft, and it proves how sticking to a task and staying humble can pay off in the long run.

Key parts of the documentary include interviews with iconic people in the fashion industry, such as Anna Wintour, Michael Kors, Iris Apfel, and Tom Wolfe. These people further prove how much of an impact Bill has had in the fashion world, and it shows that it's not only designers and models that become successful, but also the people behind the camera.
