RTN-Interviews in Film week 4

Road Trip Nation Q’s

What were the careers introduced?  (List name and career)

Ben Younger grew in a Jewish community were it was all about doctors or lawyers which influenced him to become a lawyer. But sooner or later he realized its something he doesn't really like. So he left politics and decided to get into movies, which it was something he loved as a kid. He later met who offered him a job which later became into working in the BMW Films campaign. Bennie grew in a poor home in a reservation. He never was sure what he ever wanted to do in college, the only thing he new is that he wanted to be creative. So he just fallowed his passion since he was young until he became a film maker and founder of Trickster Films. Caroline Thompson is a writer who when young never liked movies and was actually afraid, and she worked in a movie theatre and their she began to appreciate film. She had always wanted to be a writer since a younger age novel 24 never doubted that in the end she will do what she wanted in life you just have to believe and imagine you will get their.
What advice did they have to give? (Each person)

Ben Younger:“You can't be afraid to do the grunt work.”

Bennie Klain :“If you have to justify what you do on a daily basis, if you have to justify it to yourself, then you're probably doing the wrong thing.”

Caroline Thompson: “All I can say is the power of the imagination is so great—and I'm not talking about creating this work or that work—I'm just saying in terms of getting you on the channel or the path that's really yours.”

 What did you like/dislike about this episode?

What I liked about theses interviews is that they let you know you have to be positive of the outcome and that being patient is also a need for the journey.

Christof Putzel :“All of us say we want to do something fulfilling…for me, it was get me as far away from where I am right now.”

Celine Cousteau:“I set out to do one thing and then life happens, and you kind of go on these different paths.”

Chris Kraus:“I was so over-saturated with hearing other people's things and serving other people's work, and I was like I've heard enough—it's my time now to start putting something out.”

summary:    Do any of these careers interest you?
I have thought in becoming a film maker and in designing video and affects but I think I would head more into the animation side for I always like the fact of drawing. But hearing all the different kinds of people and past makes me realize their are no mistakes but instead new knowledge of ones passage.
