So, I feel all of the hard work and effort that this class
put into the festival really paid off. I believe we created and provided an
extraordinarily professional event for all of the undergraduate scholars,
filmmakers, students, and everyone else. I believe everything went smoothly
throughout the event, and I think this is what most surprised me. I have a
tendency to think that for events like Visions everything will go wrong. After
we started running a little bit behind in the morning for the keynote, my
worries began to increase, and I began to worry even more once I saw a herd of
rowdy teenagers walking through the hallway, disturbing the interview with Kiva
and the presentations for Conference Block 1. I am also pleased to see from the
responses from the attendees that this film festival and conference was well
received by the filmmakers and scholars as well as the attendees.
If I had the chance to go back and do something differently
(which I most likely will), I would try do something about those teenagers and
other people walking around the outside of Lumina Theater. I would want someone
to wrangle everyone who tries to walk through that area and redirect them
somewhere else.
As for anything that I would do the same? There is a lot
considering the success we had this year. First of all, I would make sure that
we have the same media setup, including but not limited to the combining of all
of the presentations into one PowerPoint for each of the conference blocks and the
same structure for the DVD/Blu-ray setups as well as keeping the same setup
notes for next year.
