In addition to taking four classes, I'll be assisting in the making of a documentary on a former Ball State department head and respected member of the community, Ned Griner. It'll focus on his art work, including footage of never-before-seen works and pieces that have not been seen in over two decades. The documentary is being produced by Patricia Nelson of the Ball State art department, but there are only two telecommunications students on this project. That makes me 50% of the production crew, and I have yet to meet the other half.
What could prove to be a wonderful coincidence is that one of my classes is on production management, and it is being taught by Robert Mugge who directed numerous documentaries. The majority of his work has been about musicians, including Sun Ra, Sonny Rollins, Rounder Records, and Al Green.
Considering this will be my last semester (and I'll be ending right before the summer), I'll need to be looking hard for jobs, internships, and/or fellowships. I was turned down for the Disney Fellowship, but I'll be able to apply for the Nicholls Fellowship soon. I finished my first draft of an original screenplay that I intend to revise and turn in. It is a satirical comedy that is roughly titled The Assassination.
That's all for now. Stay warm.
