Apprentices in Action
A Day in the Life of Our Students
When
Film Connection for Cinematography student Reem Rawi’s mentor, Zac Adams of SkyDive Films (Nashville, TN) wrote in saying, “Reem Rawi shot and edited this! She is absolutely rocking it!” We just knew we had to talk to her ourselves.
Film Connection student Reem Rawi films Nashville tourism video.
Just months into the program Reem has shot and edited a tourism video that’s slated for commercial release, done a couple promos, and when we spoke with her, she was headed to film a wedding and gearing up for another commercial shoot with Zac. Here’s some of what she had to say about the real-world learning experience she’s getting through working with her mentor:
“Zac doesn’t have a big production company…He’s not like maybe a multimillion business like big production companies in Los Angeles, but my determination and knowing exactly what I want from Zac is what’s making me improve in this program… It’s not the name of the college or the big studios and the fancy cameras. It’s all in your mentor’s mind, how experienced he is, and what your intention is…I feel like I’m doing the best program in the world…This program doesn’t keep you in classrooms with professors and stuff like that. It drags you from home, from where you are, and just puts you right in the business, connects you to the right people. This is so important.”
