I mailed some of my application to Chapman yesterday. I still need to complete my video essay and upload it along with the other essays. I stopped by Shervin's office and he showed me a list of celebrities interested in doing our show. Amazing. I'd love to work with any of them. Actually, I'd love to work. Period.
I think the best feeling in the world would be getting accepted to film school yet declining because your television show got picked up.

Finish Line
It's only fair I update this blog on the night of the Academy Awards.
I am nearing the finish line; I have completed my essays for Chapman University and will be working on my two-minute introductory film this week. My plan is to capture all the necessary images by mid-week to edit and complete the film by Friday.
I am days away from sitting back in my chair and taking a breather. Am I anxious? Am I terrified? Yes to both. I've realized I shouldn't put all my hopes, or any hope, on these applications. I can't wait to be done with this all to finally go back to writing and, possibly, directing. I have so many ideas I haven't had the chance to expand, this will finally give me the opportunity.
Chapman. Five days away. Let's do this.

USC / BLU
I have officially submitted my application for USC School of Cinematic Arts. Yes, the insanity is over. I drove down to the school last Friday with Mary. It was a beautiful campus, obviously, with some great buildings. I was in and out as fast as possible; I didn't want to become too captivated.
Aside from that, I have officially crossed over to Blu-ray. I haven't made a purchase of a Blu-ray player but I have come across three titles: Goodfellas, Full Metal Jacket and Blood Diamond. What an interesting purchase; two of my favorite directors (Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick) including some of my favorite actors (Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta, Leonardo DiCaprio).
I have also decided on a Blu-ray player: the Sony BDP-S550. I can't wait until I have my personal home theatre. Nobody's gonna wanna leave.
Now, I'm just crossing fingers for USC while starting on Chapman. Good luck, Armen.
