Though my specific interest is film, I would like to learn as much as I can about the different types of art and creation that go into making a movie. I would like to work with and learn from people from many different disciplines, because I believe that this type of exposure will make me better at what it is I want to do -- make films -- and will also make me a more well-rounded individual. I would also like to the opportunity to share my knowledge, and to see how the things I have learned and will learn about film are useful in other disciplines, as well. What I enjoy most about the artistic world is the way many kinds of people with many different talents are necessary for one project. I would like the institution where I receive my education to reflect this collaborative and cooperative nature of art in general and film making specifically. I would like to learn...

I expect to learn as much as I can about film making and art in general; I expect to find an enthusiastic student body and teachers that are equally eager to share their knowledge with us. As far as the specifics of what I am taught, I expect my educators to not exactly determine this, but to help point me in the right direction of what to learn by making me aware of what there is to learn. I think that the first part of any education -- but especially an education in the arts -- is learning where people have gone before, and what has been left undone. I expect my education to provide me with this background.
