Week 5/6 Announcements!
Hi SOS'ers:
A few things--
1. There is time this week (wk 6) for anyone else who might have WIP to show. Let Jed and I know if you'd like to add yourself to the list.
2. I am considering dropping the Copyright/Fair Use workshop week 8, in the interest of having enough time to get to all the WIP screenings that day. I don't imagine that most of you will get to the reading that's important to do in preparation for that workshop, nor do I imagine that many of you will have time to prepare materials to contribute to it as we discussed week 1 that some of you might. I understand that there is interest among you in these issues of copyright/fair use, etc. but I think our time that week may be more productively spent focused directly on your current work. I will post information and links to resources (these are on the paper syllabus I handed out week 1). If you have questions about this, let me know.
3. You'll soon be hearing (by email) from a contract student of Ruth's and mine, Dylan Quarles, who has spent the year scripting, shooting, and editing a short film. He will be holding a rough cut screening on Tuesday afternoon of week 7 or 8 in Com 326 after we're done. I told him that you all would be an astute group of viewers for him. Not required, of course, but if you're willing to view and give him feedback that day, he'd be most appreciative.
4. Ruth, Peter Randlette, and I are planning to host an end-of-the-year celebratory BBQ dinner in honor of all of you and the EM interns! We'll do this at Ruth and Peter's house Week 8 or 9. I hope we can find an evening that works for all of you. We'll work this out in class next week.
Have a swell weekend.
