Shanghai Student Film Festival

Hey S2F2 Students….

You’ve just finally uploaded your entry; but there’s a kind of a hollow feeling ?

FACTOR IN all the effort that went into your project!!!!!!!
It’s normal to feel a little deflated after all that work.

‘Consider’ your creative journey…..
How much do you know now that your didn’t know last year?
This is probably THE most useful experience beyond any Inquiry process that will start to prepare you for the creative/media world.

Welcome to the world of real artistry,………
The Film industry is a tough industry YET…..we live in an age where it’s possible to share our Web 2.0 ideas beyond the commerce

There are always winners and losers in the game of art and life…yet creativity, it’s possible to take every step bravely..and with integrity.

If you truly believe in ypur concept and continue to work on themes and ideas that drive your Creative visions; they WILL stand the test of time.

Here’s the Oscar speech from Russell Crowe receiving the award for “Gladiator”..
that I feel speaks to all students and teachers of “film making” as a speech to inspire, spark and resonate,,,,,,,,,

Russell Crowe said

“I’d move to Los Angeles if Australia and New Zealand were swallowed up by a huge tidal wave, if there was a bubonic plague in Europe, and if the continent of Africa disappeared from some Martian attack.”  
“If you grow up in the suburbs of anywhere, a dream like this seems kind of vaguely ludicrous and completely unattainable. [But] this moment is directly connected to those imaginings. And for anybody who’s on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage, it’s possible.”
