Issue #188 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
After apprenticing with Rehoboth Pictures, recent Film Connection grad Noah Cook (Dallas, TX) isn’t wasting any time. He’s just wrapped his own short film based on a family story:
“My dad had a really weird and interesting childhood, and there was a story he always told me about… I went to South by Southwest…and I saw this short film where it started out with some dudes talking, and then they showed the story. I was like, I really like that. I want to do something like that.”
When asked if he has any advice on how students can make the most of their time in the program, Noah says, “You have to see it as an opportunity…you’re going to get as much out of it as you put in. You’ve been put with this mentor who has access to all these cool toys and spaces and stuff, and you have to get involved, or nothing will happen. If you don’t try everything, you won’t know, especially if you’re trying to figure out what you like. You need to try, like on one project, do sound. On one project do as much camera as they’ll let you, maybe even just shadow the camera guy and, on something else, do some editing. I just think that’s the biggest thing, with Film Connection especially, is just to really apply yourself.”
