The last academic essay of my life is written!
(Well, unless I go to film school in a year or two, and do an MA, which is a definite possibility.)
I have a few hours of fine tuning for a few bits of work before submission, but aside from that my degree is over... I can hardly believe it! No more exams, no more nothing. Provided I get the essays in, I could walk out tomorrow and still get my degree.
Now, what to do next?
I've got a couple of personal projects on the boil, but the department isn't ready to hear about them, as the academic deadlines haven't passed yet. One is a commission to shoot promotional material for the college; the other a short film of my own.
Are any of you looking for a young cinematographer to light and shoot a film for you? (Or do you know anyone else who is?)
I've uploaded a short showreel to my web site. It's not quite finished yet, but I'm still in the process of re-orientating the site from a (slightly unexciting) personal site to a professional one.

Finally, I will (of course) be job-hunting, but I don't have to get too stressed right at the moment, as term doesn't finish until mid-June. If an ideal job comes along now, then I can take it -- if not, I keep looking.
Best wishes,
David

Perhaps you should offer one of the buses in another post a part?

Best of luck to you Deej. I would love to see your name listed in the credits of a really good film someday. The future is yours for the taking. Go get it.

Thank you, aqua.

It's easy to get listed in a film's credits -- but it's harder under 'director' or 'director of photography'!

One day Deeej were going to see you listed amoung the top directors. Some young man is going to be very lucky to have you. I wish you the best in all you do. One day Ill look back and say, You know, I knew him when he was just 22 and graduating.

Deej, I remember when JAWS first came out. It was made right off the coast from where I lived. No one had ever heard about that "kid" Spielberg that was making that movie. Every one thought he was nuts. And I totally believe what Roger said. You will make some nice young man very happy. I believe that good things happen to good people, Deej. I don't doubt your abilities in the least. You are 22, knock em' dead. Leave your mark on the world.
