SFA Presents...

This Friday marks our first big push into the world. Watch this:



We'll be hosting our first "big deal" screening in the Wilk on BYU campus at 7pm. I'm a little bit excited for it, because it represents the sum of our efforts up to now to try and become legitimized as an organization. This is a long and arduous process, as anyone knows who has tried to start up a club or business of any kind.

A little while ago, I published an article on Rhombus discussing the way I feel about the beginnings of this organization, and my involvement therein. We might see the first real fruit of what we're trying to do this Friday night. We all (the other people I'm working with) have our fingers crossed pretty tightly.

I think it'll go well. I think we'll pack the room we reserved, which only seats about a hundred and twenty people. And I think we'll move on to bigger spaces and fill them in the future as well.

I'm passionate about this stuff. I'm not getting paid, and I'm not getting any kind of academic credit. Neither is anyone else who is working with me. But we all care quite a lot about screening student films--about getting the hard, quality work of our peers out to the general public. Films need to be seen to matter. And we want the films the talented students in our program make to matter.

If you've got half a second, check out the SFA's official blog (updated weekly by Lauren Laws, bless her): byuSFA.blogspot.com - you can keep up with what we're doing by following that blog. That's an important note, considering how infrequently I post here (SORRY! ...sort of.)

***OH! And if you have any films that you want the SFA to screen in the future, upload them onto Vimeo, and send the link here: sfa.council@gmail.com
