Apprentices in Action
A Day in the Life of Our Students
Kevin Richey and mentor Joey Heier
Recording Connection student
Kevin Richey (Philadelphia, PA) who apprentices with Joey Heier at Crystal Clear Recording Studio is getting great feedback on a project with an artist who’s on the rise:
“On Tuesday I recorded a new artist that I haven’t recorded before. He goes by RugerStacks and is from Philadelphia. He has 11k followers on Instagram and he has placements with bigger Philadelphia artists such as AR-Ab. I recorded him one song and so far have completed a rough mix of the song. He likes how it is coming together.”
Even though Film Connection mentor Deen Olatunji is keeping his apprentices super busy in production,
Jacob Sizemore (Dallas, TX) is still pursuing his personal projects every chance he gets. He says,
“While I love working with the crew I have been craving to create my own content again and be in the director’s chair once more. Now that I have adjusted to the system in place, I can go back to making my own films. I’ve recently finished a music video for a country band and I’m now working on a short film that I wrote a while back called “Bad Day.”
The film is written and directed by me and stars Liam McDermott, Eric Zuniga, and Gunter Kinsey. It’s a comedy action film in the vein of “Baby Driver”…I plan to have the whole thing wrapped up shooting in the next three weeks and take the next few to finish up some of the more extravagant parts of the film.
There’s something so special and kinda addicting about making a film, slapping your name on it, and claiming it as your own. It’s the reason I get up in the morning and the most exciting part about my day and I can’t wait to start filming again.” Way to be proactive Jacob! Keep it up!
