SUNSET GARDENS

Life was picture perfect for John and Brittany Murphy, living in a quaint neighborhood, until the house next door was sold and a new neighbor moved in down the street. Brittany instantly takes a liking to him. John slowly grows suspicious of his wife’s faithfulness when he continuously walks in on Shane (the neighbor) and his wife in compromising situations. John wants his picture perfect life back, a time where he loved and trusted his wife, and will stop at nothing to regain this.

So where do I go from now

So my college days are coming to an end and everybody that I have talked to have two questions. A) when do I graduate, and B) what am I doing after I am done. Well I am done in May, and that day cannot come any sooner. But what am going to be doing when I am done with school? I have always wanted to go into the military but I am unable to because of medical reason (I have sports induced asthma. What a crock). So that takes that out of the picture. I want to be able to travel and help people and I have heavily looked into the Peace Corps, but I have made so many contacts over the last year and to disappear for three years I will most likely loose them. Well those are my non-degree options, but what about using that piece of paper I went for five years of college for. Maybe I can work in local news for a bit. On of my professors is Bob Hannon from WYTV in Youngstown, why not use that to my advantage. However, the problem is that I really do not care for many of the aspects of news. I like hard news and that is about the extent of it. Ideally, I want to move out to Los Angles and be able to work in film. I was lucky enough to spend a summer out in LA and I really love the city. I have also started to consider seriously getting my MFA. To a great deal of people including my mother when I mentioned I was considering getting a graduate degree they are totally shocked, because frankly I do not like school (though I understand the importance of it). I am looking at a few different schools, one is a film school and the others are schools with film programs.

One program that I found myself drawn to is New York Film Academy. This is a Two-year intensive program that all the students do is work on film. The school teaches how you use different types of film, and theories and whatnot. The school also allows students to use studio back lots. But the downside like all graduate programs it is an expensive school and to add on, it is nearly impossible for students to work so add on loans to live off of for two years and the price tag shoots way up

Another school that I have been looking at is both USC and UCLA. I like both of these schools but I don’t think that they have the hands on aspect that I am looking for with a school. At the same time they are big name schools and having a MFA from them will carry a lot of weight, well as far as teaching is concerned.

The schools that I have found on the east coast are surprisingly more expensive then out towards the west. I think I am kind of skewed to the west also because I do want to move and live there. Time will tell and unfortunately money will also.
