[@rwaitwhat]

No no. The true gems of this genre DO get released due to the overwhelming hubris of their directors. And because there's fuck-all going on in the school's film department because they're not at an arts school - they went to the state agriculture school - it will not only be taken seriously but also probably put in the running for a student film award. It won't win, life isn't that cruel (yet), but the awards people presumably have to sit and watch this garbage and I think about that sometimes. Anyway "Dystopian Teen Power Reflections" will get like runner up or some shit and the absolute doorstop who "directed" it will unironically put that on his resume when he's applying for assistant manager at GameStop.

Seriously, when I was directing a short, there were 3 instances where actors were totally excited the previous day and then the next day, they text 5 minutes before we were supposed to shoot that they "can't make it today." Like, you made a commitment to be there - if you really can't, well, at least warn everyone before they fucking show up to film. And this has happened to me and my friends so many times when trying to film, where actors just don't show up without any warning.

The “we’ll fix it in post” had me thinking about the worst film project I had been a part of. I was in a group project in college, and the group consisted of one bossy student and her friend who just listens to whatever she says and another girl who never talks and is a really passive person. So it wasn’t meshing well, and the bossy girl always got the laziest shots and of course she had to be the director and the camera person. Any idea that isn’t hers is a bad idea, and every single time a shot ends up looking bad she said we’ll fix it in post. After that terrible shooting, we got to editing, which I was thinking is our savior for the project cus maybe we could work with what we got and make something decent. But of course the bossy girl has to be the main editor, and she sucked at it. She has no idea what she was doing and yet she wanted to edit the full thing, I was the only one give her suggestions and ideas for editing while the others were just watching, and yet she wouldn’t listen. We decided that we’d split the editing and have each person edit certain parts. She still wanted to do the full thing so when she started doing it she got all confused, regretted it, and asked for help afterwards. OH and the worst part of all, on the day we had to present the project, she came in and brought her computer, and I was curious to see the end result because she didn’t even show us, turns out she still hasn’t finished editing and exporting it! Hours before we had to show the film. I was in disbelief, she wanted to edit it all by herself so bad but didn’t even end up finishing it in time. This all happened in art school too lmao.

Dont feel bad at all. It's a scam anyways. Any information you need from college is available for free on the internet. Plus, you cant "Teach" creativity. You either have it or you dont. A lot of these poor kids are meant to have happ, normal lives, yet completely fuck themselves thanks to a society that's convinced them they have to be these amazingly successful superstars. If you're normal, just be normal. A normal healthy life is litterally - and obviously - what people are supposed to have.
