New Project! When I Grow Up....

Although we've only just started, this seems to be the semester of big projects. Over the next couple of weeks, the class will be shooting and editing a film project that will be submitted to the Third Annual Island Media Arts Festival.


Next week, we will be shooting in a variety of Charlottetown locations and asking passersby "When you grow up, what do/did you want to be?", "What are you doing now?", and the clincher "Are you happy?"

We're all pretty jazzed by this project. So far, we've set up a Facebook page & group, a Twitter account, logo, promotional video, business cards, signs and forms... and that was just yesterday. The Facebook account already has received a huge number of postings since its inception yesterday afternoon. This afternoon I'll be posting up on my Google+ account, so my pals there can keep track of what's going down.

We'll be posting our shooting locations daily before each team heads out, so if any of you out there would like to come and participate, you'll be able to find us. And, just so you don't feel like you're doing this for free, we're handing out a helium balloon to each participant! Hopefully our balloons will hold up in the cold weather... nobody likes shrinkage!

Our submission deadline for the Island Media Arts Festival is mid-February. The Festival itself runs from May 8-13 this year, so please come and check us out! After its launch, our project will "go live" online on my Youtube channel as well as our Facebook page and group.
