The Opening Scene

Roll opening credits, uplifting soundtrack.  I am about to embark on a five-week documentary filmmaking workshop and really couldn't be more excited.  I intend to chronicle the experience here.  So far, I have spent part of today buying my school supplies (external drives, video tapes, etc.), which takes me back to the start of the school year as a child in New York, with the leaves turning shades of red, yellow and orange.  It rekindles that feeling of a fresh start and the overflowing excitement of exploring uncharted personal territory.  I have always loved school and, although they will be intense and sometimes stressful, I expect that the next five weeks will be pure ecstasy.  I very much look forward to creating something new in the world, even if only a handful of friends and family ever see it.
