Hello, Friends!! I know I have been HORRIBLE about posting actual blog posts, but I took the time to write this today because it is really important. I have a great group of friends at Loyola, and in an intense three day period, they made this awesome video called Hamburger Host for Campus Movie fest. Not only is this video extremely engaging, but it is also of high quality. I have come to expect this from my friend, Zach, who directed and conceptualized the five-minute film. On YouTube, Hamburger Host has already gotten 912 views, and it's currently in the lead of all the short films submitted for the contest. If they keep it up, there is a strong possibility that it will make it to the big screens of Hollywood! The top four movies from each school are sent to the national screening, if I understand it correctly. If you haven't watched the movie yet, I strongly encourage you to do so. I could not be prouder of the great work they all have done. On a separate note, if anyone ever has good work they want to show off, I will totally talk it up with my promising advertising and public relations abilities. But it has to be truly deserving of praise! (I am only half-joking). I just love to affirm people. Perhaps that is the point of this blog post; a celebration of good things done by talented individuals. And we are all deeply gifted in one way or another. As I always say, "an artist is not a special kind of person, a person is a special kind of artist." I hereby call everybody to pick up some proverbial paint and make a real-life masterpiece. And... Action!
