So...I'm applying to the New York Film Academy next year. As part of the admission requirements, I've got to make a 10 minute short film as part of my portfolio. After I finish the script, will any of you be willing to review it? I trust you guys to give me constructive criticism on pacing, structure, and whether it would be feasible to shoot for a bunch of students or not.
Thanks

Hi guys!
Seems i only communicate through status updates now.
If I may update- I am really really happy with my life right now and the person I am becoming. I have good irl friends who i am very grateful for,
I've been eating healthy and regularly and i even joined a gym! I have also been getting 8-9 hours of sleep per night. I've been journaling as regularly as I can and reading upwards of 1 or 2 books a week and watching an average of 2 movies a week. Which is great because it means I dont spend my energy in negative stuff anymore. I mean its hard but im trying and i seem to be mostly succeeding.
Plus, my grades are...you know what they are average and that is perfectly fine because they are still better than what they used to be and i can see the fruits of my efforts.
I feel very happy. Because I'm learning and growing everyday. I'm learning how to deal with the bad times in a healthy way and to be kind to myself. I have a better relationship with myself and my parents.
I am proud of myself and the direction my life is going in and I just know I couldnt have done it without you guys.
Much love to all of you

An ode to my younger self
Yes, you've made a lot of mistakes. Yes, there are instances where you wish you had done better, people you should have known to stay away from. But its okay. Its part of the very human condition to make mistakes and you did great for a 17 year old. You did good.
I'm not going to say that you couldn't have done better, because you could have. But that's how you live and that is how you learn.
I choose to be kind to you. Because inspite of all the bad stuff that happened last year, there was so much good. Because you broke out of your shell, because you made actually good friends, because every time you fell, you always got up again.
And I'm proud of us.
Here's to a great 2024, everyone!
