I submitted an application, burned a DVD with my movies, and went to an interview and now I’ve finally been accepted into the Film program at the Summer Arts Institute, which is an arts-focused summer camp type of thing. The NYC Department of Education has partnered with the Tribeca Film Institute specifically for the Film part, so I’ll be making movies with professional cameras and stuff this July.
Yay! The program is very instense, from what I’ve heard, but I’ll be making movies so it’ll be fun! Only a handful of students get picked from the many who apply, so I’m happy that I got in, even though I’m not really sure how many people are the “many who apply.” Still, yay!

Congratulations, Austen! This is great! I couldn’t get your blog for several months, but Uncle Bob told us about this at dinner last night, and I was able to read all about it this morning. Should be a terrific summer for you!
