It's had a lot of positive buzz and was cut by none other than our own alum Nat Sanders (BFA 02).  Here's the film's website: http://shortterm12.com/. It'll be playing here in Tallahassee next Sunday, September 15 at 3:30pm at the Challenger Center IMAX theater, brought to us by the newest incarnation of the Tallahassee Film Festival. Check it out: http://fameintally.com/short-term-12/. Congratulations to Savage Bell (BFA 94) who is now Executive Producer for IBM out of their Atlanta office, but living and working out of Santa Rosa Beach! From Joe Papa (BFA  10)  “Since graduating, I've been fighting my way up the ladder at Oasis (a lit management/production company started by ex William Morris VP David Lonner). I started as an intern in February 2011 and just last week was asked to step up to the plate as the 1st assistant to the CEO (David). I've picked up Executive Assistant credits on many projects in pre-production as well as a network TV show, Devious Maids, which was just renewed for a second season. A few months ago I completed a screenplay and was read by David and another manager/producer - they liked the concept and tone and asked me to pitch them any other ideas I had. With them as my 'commercialization' mentors, I'm developing two awesome story ideas that they will help find funding for and produce, with me on as a writer/director. It's been a tough and schizophrenic road, and I'm sure it will continue to be (la vita é cosi) but I have to say I feel very blessed and fortunate. I couldn't have done it without the life skills I learned in film school - and the most important thing I learned from film school so far would have to be, take any opportunity that comes your way - you never know who they are or what they can do to help you. And also, stay positive :-) From Ashley Miller (MFA 08)  “I have just been brought on as the Communications Officer for the national women's reproductive access group Provide.  I will be in charge of all their communications and, among my many responsibilities, I may even be initiating some promotional video work for them.  I have also just passed my comprehensive exams, meaning that I am officially a "PhD Candidate/ABD", with only a 200 page dissertation between me and making people call me doctor.” Devyn Waitt’s (BFA 07)  film Not Waiving But Downing has been posted for free viewing by the filmmakers in 2013.
