    CV/Resume for film schools!

    a resume should be no longer than 1 page. Unless you have an exceptional career that you are somehow unable to prune from your resume, keep it at 1 page. a CV is really only required if you have more job history than y ou can put in the resume. So if you have say, 3 jobs/films on your resume but...

    Should I Go To Chapman Film School?

    i enjoyed it. I did a lot of editing there and also got to watch my peers' work. I learned from what they did right and wrong. no you don't generally get jobs right out of college. remember this is a freelance career. you need to build a reputation and work your way up from being an assistant...

    Film & TV Discussions What to watch on Netflix?

    yeah.. well it was kinda expected on who will be the "winner" tbh squid game doesn't really show much other than the classic korean style hyper violence that harkens back to the early days of korean cinema. great if you like gore and violence, but I feel like there is some parts that are lacking...

    Film & TV Discussions What to watch on Netflix?

    i didn't watch the entirety of squid game but saw snippets of it and then the last episode. I dont understand why it's such a hit when I feel like there are other variations out there that are more interesting, imho. I also still dislike the main character through and through. I feel like he is...

    Film & TV Discussions What to watch on Netflix?

    I watched the first episode so far, I always watch in original dub + subs for any foreign language works. Personally... first half of episode 1 was obnoxiously too long and really need a serious cut down. We get the point after 10 minutes of showing what a scumbag the main guy is. I also did...

    I went to Chapman for my masters in editing. I did 2 internships. 1 at Bravo Digital and 1 at a vfx house.
