The Dark Knight Movie Field Trip
by Jaimal Guynn
Last Friday after class, several of the students from The Studio and four of the teachers went to go see a movie called The Dark Knight. It was the newest Batman movie.
Everyone enjoyed the movie. One of the students jumped out of her seat! It was one of the best Batman movies ever! One of the characters , a villain, was The Joker. The actor did a beautiful job.
This was the first time this many people from The Studio went to a movie together. It showed me that The Studio is like a family
The Studio and the Accident Gallery hosts “The Studio Film Festival” as part of the Accident Gallery’s View and Brew Night, which has been showing free movies every Tuesday night at 8:30 pm for the last two years or so.
The festival is a collection of short videos created by artists who are part of the video production workshop at The Studio. The collection includes narrative fiction, experimental video and a documentary. Both first films and more advanced work will be shown. Included in the mix: “Shadow of the Artist”, an experimental movie by Jaimal Guynn, which explores how his disability affects his art. “War Hero”, by Sean Cannady, is about a war veteran trying to deal with PTSD “Alien Abduction” is a class project which utilized models, costumes, sets and special effects. A duel between filmmakers is the driving force behind “Video Smackdown.”
