Week 6 Check-In

Boy it has been a long week, but today is my twenty-first birthday so yay! Definitely helped me push through the week. Programming and Operations only met for about a half hour this week at our weekly meeting on Monday. It was short because we were all already in progress with our current tasks at hand, and there was no need to meet longer than needed. Kevin asked me to update the database before I headed out, and even though I thought I had input all of the films, unfortunately I had missed some. Luckily Daryl realized some had been skipped and added them in to the database. Programming also spent time after class on Tuesday to really tidy up the database and get all of the submissions into the right categories. Overall, cleaning up everything took our department about an hour or so. All of the information was there, it was just jumbled and not laid out nicely. Aside from that, I once again enjoyed discussing films in class. It was nice too how this week we were all pretty certain about which ones deserved to be left in consideration, making for a shorter than normal discussion. This upcoming week is not going to be as quick and will be a tough one. There are however going to be a lot of hard decisions to make. In all honesty, I’ll be happy with whatever ones we decide on, though I am of course biased to the film I worked on. Until next class though, dare I say it – things are pretty calm within my department at the moment. Kevin, Daryl, and myself have been on top of things and have done our best to not fall behind. I’m excited though to move on to other things besides judging films and get into the nitty gritty of programming. I do know that however busy it is going to get from here on out and whatever problems arise, this festival and conference is going to be the best one yet.
