 As the "locations and insurance" assignment progressed this week, what considerations were at the front of your mind? What wheels were turning?

This week was fairly simple. Except finding an insurance broker that would just send me an emailed quote. They all want my personal cell to call and then sell me on insurance. I didn't follow through with giving our my personal cell... I already get enough robo calls as it is. I wasn't about to give out my cell to another company just to call me over and over. Alas, I found two companies that I could request a written quote only, but I don't have much hope for them returning the quote without wanting me on the phone. We shall see how this goes. It will be a learning opportunity for sure haha. 

Other than that, this was a straight forward assignment. I basically spent time inputting information already gathered in previous assignments throughout the semester.

    Hmm. Not a big fan of robo calls either. Maybe you could set up a Google Voice and give them that number. I may do that when I make my calls on Monday!

    The insurance stuff was difficult for me as well.

    This is interesting. I wonder why such the run around? I really thought that Entertainment Insurance may have been sold by Progressive...All State....State Farm...I was wild surprised when Insurance Canopy, K&K Event Insurance, and others popped up. I'm going to be calling tomorrow so thank you for the heads up.

    The simpler work this week has been a nice change from everything else going on in our classes.

Reflect on how you've expanded your Producing knowledge this semester. This semester has been an interesting one. This class was certainly a lot of work but overall, not too bad if I kept up with said work. I am somewhat glad that I chose a project that I am not planning to produce in the immediate future; this class really works best when you can come up with imaginary numbers, dates, and subjects. It helped me practice while learning. I know that if I had chosen to pre-produce my summer 2 project, I would have gotten too close to the project and nitpicked every detail to the point of burnout. Though it is sad that I have produced a full project that i will likely not work on for a few years, it helps to know that I have laid the groundwork for this project when it is time to pick it back up and start working on it again. Though this class was hard, it's nice to know that I have accomplished something this semester that I likely wouldn't have if not pushed by my peers and ...

Growth in FST 537

- Find passion for art again. I know this sounds off but I am a bit burnt out. I need to find what gives me ideas and helps me create work I am proud of.  - Understand funding projects more. Specifically: Grants, investors, selling an idea, finding funds for any project.  - Distribution: How does one know when and where to distribute their film. Festivals are overwhelming... which do I choose to submit to? Are some better than others? why so many costs??

 For this course I plan to start producing my thesis project.  My basic idea is to create a medium length documentary. Possibly something that could be a pilot for a mini-series documentary for streaming services.  The basic overarching idea is about Amway Global. In the late 90s – early 2000s my family was involved in Amway. My parents attended bi-weekly meetings, multiple conferences across the USA each year, and even sent my brothers and I to an all-boys sports camp that was sponsored by Amway Executives. The pilot episode will lay out some details of how a multi-level marketing company works. Then I would like to focus on the experiences that myself and many other boys of our age had at the summer camp each year. I plan to find at least 8-12 individuals like myself who went to this camp and hear their stories. If the project is a success, I could see myself attempting to push forward with multiple episodes to complete a whole story about the Amway Experience. ...
