Live At The Reel Owl Cinema Film Festival 2019

For posterity sake, it is 908 on the East Coast.
It is 608 on the West Coast.
It is Quattro de Mayo in the year of our Lord, 2019.
It is season nine, if I can get to the right place
to find out what episode we're at.
It is episode 42, 489 times.
This voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse podcast.
Normally live every Sunday night,
seven Eastern for Pacific.
But we are live to tape for three different shows.
This weekend, if you've been paying attention to us
on social media, you know tonight is one of our favorite
shows of the year.
We are live from Garland High School to tape.
Because it is the real Owl Cinema Film Festival 2019.
The 17th time they've done this and our third time here.
Welcome.
My name is Rob.
I am the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast.
And I decided to go formal casual because I'm formal,
but I'm here to party.
Let's go around the day of sitting in the co-host chair tonight.
Chad is, I would normally I would say Chad's on a assignment,
but Chad's getting married today.
Let's just say it.
We're going to put it out there.
He's getting married on Intergalactic Star Wars day.
So filling in sitting in the co-host chair
is the lady of the house.
And her first time here at the Real Owl Cinema Film Festival,
Jen Romis here, hello friend.
Hello, everyone.
So excited to be a part of this tonight.
Sitting across from me is the official fact
checker of this show and a man who again sports the purple polo.
He, you may know him as Igboonu, but his mama name I'm Don Ford.
I'm going to call him Don Ford.
What's going on, brother?
It's better than wearing an oily t-shirt with stains and holes.
Is that what you normally wear or sometimes?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm not going to judge you outwardly.
I'm just a shirt, but there is that.
Alex also on an assignment time.
He'll be back with us for too long.
You guys know me.
I got to go bye bye.
Don's got to do what he's got to do.
Here's how this show works.
This is a really quick show.
It goes very, very fast.
We've got a lot of student filmmakers from Garwin High School.
They had their big, big show tonight.
And for some reason, people seem to think
that we're smart enough to judge these things.
I don't know.
Like last year, I actually said industry judge.
And I was like, I will take that.
It said it in the program today.
But it didn't say, no, it used to say it on our badges.
It doesn't anymore.
This year, it does not.
But it does say.
And that's loud.
But we've got our first filmmakers in front of us.
And what we as we always do, introduce yourself to our audience
please get right up on those microphones.
You guys know how this works.
Not your first rodeo.
OK, hi, I'm Kirsten DeLowch.
I'm a senior here at the program.
My name is Alex Navoro.
And I'm also a senior from the program.
A couple of people that are new strangers
to this group of people and not just on this show.
And no, they're not.
They came to the madness that was coonied sleep back last year.
And I had pink hair at the time for the program.
Yes, she did.
So this year's deal is going to be December 14th and 15th.
So write it down.
We're working on the facility right now.
The facility is moving.
But I've got to tell you, I mean, oh, you see, this is smart
because on their deal it tells what films they were working on.
So I don't have to look it up.
Not thinking, thinking, make brain hurt.
So just making things more convenient.
Exactly, because I'm not a smart man.
Senior.
Senior.
So this is it.
You guys have just, you know, you're mailing in at this point,
right?
Oh, man, because it's testing and everything else done.
No, not yet.
So you got finals still.
Yeah, how much longer until finals?
Next week?
Yeah, next week is AP testing.
But overall, this next three weeks is the last one.
And that blows my mind because here comes Old Man Rob.
But when I was your age, like, we didn't get
a school to the middle of June.
But see, we also got all the Jewish holidays and stuff, too.
So that pro long dark, because I'm in from South Florida.
So you have to do those things.
But at a night like this, is that out of your mind?
Is it in the back of your head?
Because I would assume that at a night like this,
you're focused on this.
Oh, yeah.
The amount of preparation that went into this festival, especially
for us seniors, we've spent the last 24 plus hours
getting ready for this festival.
So it's just been festival, festival, festival,
nothing else.
When did, when was the actual point where you had to turn
in the final, final, you can't make any more changes?
This is the deal.
Here you go.
Around two weeks ago, I believe, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, two weeks ago, we're the final ones.
So during those, you know, before, uh, those.
You're right up with nothing in talking on this.
Everybody can be on my back.
Perfect.
During those two weeks, we mainly just, you know,
looked at our films.
We didn't really think too much about tests or anything like that.
It was just, let's see if this film is, you know,
watchable, to say the least, at least watchable to the audience.
Is it enjoyable?
And, you know, also have fun with it, you know?
And what I dig about when we come here and do this,
it's like watching all of you guys support each other
is the coolest thing.
Oh, yeah.
Because there's no sense of competition.
There's no sense of, you know, I hope this person doesn't do
well, like everybody's laughing at the right beats.
Everybody's cheering at the right beats.
Now, I know you have a bias to the films you worked on.
But were there any films that you saw tonight
that weren't yours that you thought were just awesome?
I would say the mind would be the one that says
the best movie ever made.
The prep of the juniors with the dinosaur.
That was just the amount of just the level of fun
they had while making this is just like.
Well, and we've all had that conversation too.
Like, if I were going to make the best movie ever,
here's how it would go.
Sorry about you.
One of my personal favorites is the Chronicles of Harvey Dingas.
Yes, the bug, the bug.
Yes.
I was kind of helping on the side with that one,
and I just got to see all of it being made.
How do you shoot that and not do everything 19 takes
because you're laughing so hard?
They did do 19 takes because they were laughing.
I'd have been like, I'm going to be in another room
watching this on a monitor because I couldn't.
There's no way I could get through that.
No, and I've got to ask a question.
I see you both were in a cup of Joe.
Yeah, a cup with Joe.
Yes.
Did you do any of the artwork?
Did you have an art student help out with that?
Who did the artwork on the cups?
We had two of our crew members.
I mainly did them most of the artwork,
and I just want to thank them.
Bri and Phoebe is their name, and thank them so much
for just the overall, the amount of creativity
they went to the cups is on the believable.
I mean, you have ones you see with the dragons,
and you have them with cats, mountains,
all the way up to math equations.
I have some pairs, I think, was on that one.
It's just a little bit of everything,
and so they really, really put a lot of time and effort
into those cups, and it's sad to say,
but not all of them made it to the film,
but it's still the fact that they still take the time
of their day to make those cups.
It's really quite astonishing.
And do you use them for the credits as well?
Oh, yeah.
That was a nice touch.
I liked that.
Thank you.
Let's talk about film for a minute.
You guys have an advantage that not a lot of people
your age have, because when I was in high school,
we didn't have, well, we didn't barely have film,
but we didn't have the advantage
of having a film department.
Now, being a part of this deal,
are there any aspects of filmmaking or genre of film
that you think you wouldn't have found a love for otherwise?
I mean, speaking just from personal experience,
if I had not entered this program at all,
I would not know what I want to do with my life at all.
This program has like-
So you want to pursue this?
Yes, I'm going to UNT next year to pursue a degree
in media arts with a focus in editing.
So yeah, this program would not have-
And people don't understand the value
that goes into editing.
Oh, yeah.
I do short films for my job every once in a while,
and we use things like Adobe Premiere Pro and Creative.
And people just don't understand like hours and hours and hours.
And you go back and you go, oh, I could have done that better.
You know, the editing is an art form in itself.
How about you?
For me, almost a very similar story to her
is just without this program, not only
what I have developed, not just a group of friends,
but almost a family.
So it was thanks to this program,
I was able to find a family within myself,
within having people that actually, you know,
believe me and almost love me,
but also I wouldn't know what to do with my life.
This is one of the few classes I remember going into
freshman year thinking, you know,
I'm just going to take this for our credit course.
I'm just going to get this done.
But then once I actually learned about the production process
and everything that goes into it,
I actually surprisingly enjoyed it.
And I was like, wow, this is one of the few class,
only class and I ever taken in high school, no offense.
But I actually enjoy and love doing.
And after a certain amount of time,
I just thought, you know what?
I might want to do this a career.
And now I'm decided that, yeah, I'm going to do this
as a career.
I'm planning to go to Katie Conservatory
and just continue with the Motion Picture Production Program.
Get my degree and just hopefully my plan is after this,
after getting my degree is to move to Austin, Texas
and work for a company you might have heard of them
that's my plan, hopefully, if I get a yes on the job
and we'll see where it goes from here.
So there's, you know what I mean?
I can tell me I got two minutes
because there's food over there.
I guess I'm going to get somebody.
Right now, what is the movie you're looking forward to see?
Because I know that you've got a lot going on.
It could be theaters, it could be on DVD
because they've been so busy with schoolwork.
What's the movie that you're just like,
now that I'm getting a little bit of free time
summer's coming up, what do you got to go see?
I don't know.
I'm more of a just scroll through Netflix
or scroll through whatever streaming service
and just find what interests me.
I still haven't caught up on Sabrina.
I'm still behind on that.
I have not even started Sabrina.
Really?
And I'm a full, anything CW, I'm a full season behind right now.
That's fair.
And it's killing me.
Because they only go back four episodes on their apps
and so it's like if you, that's why you go with NBC shows
are the better ones.
People that could get those on Hulu, so.
Still haven't seen Game of Thrones at all.
Oh my God.
I have neither.
So they just wait for three more weeks
and then just binge the whole thing.
I mean, if you have like this one weeks,
if you have like 10 weeks on your life, then yeah,
I mean, it's a, it's a long series.
I love this one.
Game of Thrones is life.
It is, it practically is.
It just, it's the pranos.
And like, well, it's like Sunday's episode.
I was, I started 22 minutes late,
but I had it on my DVR.
And people were texting me.
And I'm like, leave me alone.
Don't talk to me until I tell you what's okay.
Because if you ruin this for me,
that's why I went and saw Endgame like Thursday night
last week, because I said the internet
is not going to ruin this movie for me.
Oh my God.
That was my film.
And I saw that on an opening night fan event.
Basically, I paid like double the normal price tickets
just to see that film, because everywhere else
on the day of premiere, it sold out.
So that was my number one film.
And I've already seen it.
So now I'm just waiting for it to come out on streaming services
and DVD or something.
I'm going to go again probably next weekend.
Oh my God.
They're telling me you guys have to go.
So go enjoy the evening.
We're going to see you guys later,
because we're presenting awards after this anyway.
Thank you guys so much for hanging out with us again.
Congratulations.
All the best you guys in the future.
Hopefully see you in December.
Definitely.
All right.
All right.
We're tagging out.
We're tagging out.
I told you, this is different than any other show we do,
because this is fast and furious and it moves.
But it's amazing.
Well, yeah, it's great.
We love this.
All right.
We have more people.
People are good, because people who need people
are the luckiest people in the world.
Introduce yourself.
Get right up on the microphone.
Hi, I'm Amy.
Hi, I'm Richard.
Hi, I'm Brie.
Three more of our students here at Garwin High School.
At least one of them was part of Who Need Sleep,
because we have to plug Who Need Sleep,
because I'm the president.
I have to plug it.
All of you guys were there.
You were part of the madness.
We're doing it again, December 14th and 15th this year.
We'll be there.
So put it on your calendar.
And I love that they've got, they've got,
again, they've got the, the films they worked on.
It's great to turn as we're seeing it.
I love that there's like 90 different ones
on every, every tag.
I love that.
Are you the Brie that helped draw for a cup with Joe?
Yes, I did.
They just talk about it.
They just talk about it.
They just talk about it at the artist.
And we haven't recorded, so they can't deny it.
Yeah.
There is proof.
How are you guys feeling right now?
Good.
Like it's over.
I can decompress a little bit.
I just feel excited, you know, seeing all those films.
It's crazy.
Now, let everybody know where you're at in your high school
careers.
We're all seniors.
Yeah, Schubert was saying, biggest junior class
he's ever had smallest senior class he's ever had.
And apparently, we're just covering the entire senior class
because everybody we've had so far has been seniors.
There's only five of us.
So that we have now officially covered the interviews.
Oh, they're all five there.
We had two now.
We had three win.
Okay, so we're asking this of everybody
of the films you didn't work on,
because you're going to have a bias to those.
Let's be honest.
Of the ones you didn't work on,
which was the one that impressed you the most?
Murder on Tuesday, the first, yeah.
Very funny, very much enjoyed that.
For me, I think it'd have to be,
how did you know?
Oh, how do you know?
Oh, I don't remember it that well.
I'm just, I'm fascinated when I watch this every year
because you guys are so in tune with everything.
Like there's a social consciousness
to what you guys are doing in these films
that I think goes understated a lot.
Like you guys are addressing things
that most people wouldn't expect people of your age
to be able to address.
And you guys are addressing it well.
You know, and this comes from an old guy.
So, you know, there's a lot of get out of my lawn
going on right now.
But one of the things that we like to talk about too
and we talk about film is being a part of this program.
What has it, is there something that you,
an appreciation for a certain type of film
or a certain genre of film that you wouldn't have had
before you came into this program?
Could you guys?
Documentaries.
Oh, yeah.
Documentaries are big.
And especially as I'm getting older,
I like documentaries more.
But they're, they're, they're, they're done better now.
Like it's not just some guy talking like this for an hour
and a half.
Like, you're trying to talk Cousteau
and you're gonna see sick while you're watching it.
It's, there's, there's a narrative to it
for lack of a better term.
And there's also this sort of call it action.
Get right up on it.
Get right up.
There's also some sort of call it action for the audience.
We just like feel like standing up
and doing something after it, you know?
And, and I like that the technology's gotten
where more people have access to it.
You know, like, you guys get to shoot digital
and something goes wrong.
You just delete it and start over.
There's, there's, it's no harm, no foul.
Do you prefer the pre, the pre production,
the production itself or the post?
Post.
Post, okay.
Definitely post.
Pre-production actually.
Okay, so they'll talk about the difference.
What, what about pre that does it for you?
There's something about post, post production
that makes me really anxious.
I just want to get it done and over with.
And like, I don't really care much for it.
I don't have the patience for it.
But something about pre-production,
it's laying out every single thing.
And I know exactly what I'm doing.
It kind of makes me sound like I'm a dictator
when it comes to my films, but like,
but on a certain level, if you're directing
or your storyboarding, you kind of have to be.
But with that, I have to ask,
do you lay out your clothes the night before?
Yes, I do.
Yeah, see, but that makes sense.
You like to plan ahead.
And you like to know what's coming next.
And it's, without that, we wouldn't have the finished product.
So we have to have people that do that.
I'm the opposite.
Pre gives me more anxiety than post does.
Yes, and I like pre, and I actually have my clothes
for the next week already picked out.
But no, I'm the same way.
I buy way out because I like to sleep
as long as I can.
It's really a lot of it.
But pre gives me more anxiety
because it's the planning stages.
You know, once we get to production,
my anxiety goes down because now the train's moving.
Yeah, that's why our group works so well together
because some of us like pre-production
and others like post-production
and others like actual producing.
So like, when we all come together doing our strengths,
it helps make a film that we actually really like
and something that we're proud of.
And that's a life less than I have co-workers
that do not understand.
To know that you've got different people
with different strengths and you support each other through,
that is...
All right, where are you headed from here?
What's happened in the fall?
College.
Where?
I'm studying filmmaking at UTA.
Nice.
I'm going a different route.
I'm going to study film at UT.
Okay.
I am the oddball.
I'm majoring in physics at SMU.
And we're very proud of her, even though it's not film.
Physics at SMU, I mean, that's a heck of a combination.
Don't discount that.
Will there still be a certain...
Will you still dabble in film
or is this something that you're separating yourself from?
I hope so.
I know that SMU has a...
They have a film program.
I'm not like just like how good it is,
but I know it exists.
So maybe I'll dabble.
Okay, so Don's telling me we got about a minute left with you guys
because you probably are probably hungry
and there's food over there.
We're going to ask this.
If everybody sits down with us tonight,
what's the movie that you're looking forward to seeing right now?
Oh, man.
Does it have to be one?
Does it have to be like a new one?
No, it can be a kids.
I know you guys are busy
and you may have to wait for Blu-ray and stuff.
Okay, so I'm seeing Endgame tomorrow.
Oh, I envy you.
I decided to see that.
So good.
No spoilers, please.
I haven't seen it yet.
I can't even talk about it
because I'm glad we didn't do the press screening
because I'm glad if I had to review that film,
it would be, this movie is good, you should go see it.
Because you can't talk about it even.
It's a minefield.
And you'll understand when you see it,
you're going to see it and you're going to go,
I understand why Rob couldn't talk about it now
because to say more than three sentences
about the film itself, you run into a spoiler.
There's just no way.
Have you said three sentences yet?
I'm talking about it if I try to do the plot.
That's what I'm saying.
Now I will tell you, there's only one place you can pee.
And I'll say is when they're making a plan,
go right then.
Otherwise you're screwed.
I'm just letting you know.
Okay, and it's about 55 minutes in.
So prepare yourself.
Gotta pace yourself because it's full three hours.
And when you add trailers and everything else,
you're committing like gone to the wind kind of times
at this.
Gone with the wind, I'm sorry.
All right, go guys, go enjoy the evening.
Thank you guys for sitting down with us.
I'm looking forward to the guy who's having you guys back
with us in December for who need sleep.
December 14th and 15th.
All right, we are live to tape
at the Real Owl Cinema Film Festival,
our third year in a row, the 17th year for the festival.
Now next year, Don has something to say apparently.
You got brothers here.
I probably could have gotten there, but thank you, Don.
So if we get to do this next year,
we will officially have gone through an entire class
from beginning to end, which is kind of crazy.
Gentlemen, introduce yourself to our audience.
Please get right up on the microphones.
My name is Grayden Weber and I'm a film three.
All right.
My name is Marcus Weber and I'm in film two.
So a year apart?
Okay, so that way we're establishing.
We're a year apart.
And again, full list of stuff on both of them.
Yes.
How are you feeling right now?
Because now this films have been shown,
it's all over, but the crying.
How are you feeling right now?
I feel distressed.
Well, and as I'm looking at your tags,
there's no overlap of the films you worked on.
So talk about being in the same household.
How does that work?
Do you have to sketch a lot who gets to work on stuff?
When, or is there enough to go around?
Yeah, around the time of filming,
there's always a debate of what location we get in the house.
And it's, and we always use each other as our own actors,
especially if we don't, if our one of our actors quits on us.
How often does that happen?
Well, a lot.
If you saw the one film, the best movie ever.
Yes.
This will be an actual girl playing me.
Oh.
They just, he just used me instead,
because she didn't show up.
I couldn't find a girl in time.
But it made it that much funnier.
It added to it.
Because you sold it, man.
You just completely, like, it just like, yeah, no,
I'm an actress.
Get right with it.
And I thought that added to it, personally.
Now, we can't talk too much about it
because we're judges.
And we're not a lot of talk about what we liked
and what we didn't like.
You'll find that out later.
But how has this particular program,
because you guys still have time to go.
You're a sophomore, you're a junior, correct?
So you still got time to go in your high school careers.
What has this program done for you,
especially when you got a guy like Schubert,
who is nothing short of a madman?
Let's just say it.
And he'll admit to it.
But how has this helped you, has it helped you
enrich your love for film,
or did you have that coming in?
I think this program really enhanced my love for film.
And it also helps me express my creativity more.
I feel a lot more free creativity, creativity as well.
And what's your favorite genre to work on?
I like to do comedies, I like to use as well.
Do you find that when you're working on comedy,
because a lot of what I've experienced
is when you're doing comedy, it almost seems like harder work
because you have to sell the funny.
Where has, when you're doing drama,
the funny is more of a release.
Do you feel more pressure to deliver the funny
when you're doing comedy?
Usually the comedy in my films is just whatever joke
naturally feels there first.
I don't usually have to think hard about it.
It's just the first joke I come up with
is usually the one that ends up being the funniest.
It's also a lot easier to play with the medium of film.
We could use like shot comedy, like zoom in and stuff
like that, and yeah.
What filmmakers influence you?
Is there a director that you're like,
that you would go see a movie just sight unseen
if his name's on it or her name's on it, you go?
I really like Edgar Wright films.
Okay.
You know, he was originally supposed to do Ant Man.
Really?
Yes.
But his interpretation of the story was a little bit.
It was an ant that turns into a man.
And we're like, that's not the story.
But I do like Edgar Wright a lot.
Especially, you know, the blood and ice cream trilogy.
I'm a big fan of.
You know, Sean of the dead, hot fuzz.
And what's the other one Bart?
World's End.
World's End.
What's Anderson's a really good one.
Wes Anderson is one of those guys that he's very polarizing.
People love him or they don't love him.
And SNL, I don't know if you've ever seen this
and you're not going to look to someone YouTube.
SNL did a sketch once.
That was a horror film directed by Wes Anderson.
And it's really, really funny.
But I like, I like Wes Anderson because he's just off the beaten path
enough that it's different, but it's not too different
that it's distracting.
What kind of...
What's the film right now that you're looking forward to seeing
that you haven't seen yet?
I still haven't seen an endgame yet.
Oh, man.
I'm surprised.
You know, congratulations for...
Have you had it ruined for you yet, though?
No.
Congratulations on that.
That it's been a week and you haven't had this movie spoiled.
Because people are out there doing it.
And you have to go into that movie cold.
You have to.
I'm kind of optimistic for Joker, the DC film.
I'm a big Batman nut.
I just don't know that I need this movie.
I just...
I saw the trailer and it looks really good in my opinion.
I mean, it's walking Phoenix.
And the guy's a beast.
He just is.
I just...
I just don't know if I need an origin story for the Joker.
I...
I'll go.
Don't get me wrong.
But it's just one of those things that's like,
this could either be really good or really, really bad.
Yeah.
What is...
Are there any movies that when you're having writer's block
or creator's block?
Are there any movies that you go to that kind of hope you get past that?
Oh, really?
These guys are so quiet on screen.
They're just like larger than life and doing the thing.
And I got them in front of me.
It's because we don't have the cameras here this time.
That could be possible.
It's purely obvious.
We're normally a video podcast, but you know.
But there's nothing that kind of helps you get through that.
Is there a type of music?
Is there an activity?
I mean, is it shooting?
Oh, I really like watching music videos.
Okay.
Yeah, I find stuff like the breeze blocks, music video,
something really amazing.
I just like that they're watching music videos.
Well, it does exist.
MTV wants you to think otherwise, but...
Oh, no.
It's on YouTube.
Vivo is a beautiful thing.
Oh, yeah.
I like looking at my old 80s music videos,
just because I like to laugh at...
Oh, my God.
MTV classics.
MTV classics.
All right. They're telling me you guys got to go,
because you got to go before the food runs out.
So thank you guys for joining us.
You guys did such an amazing job on your stuff.
We can't wait to start giving out hardware here
in a little while.
Go enjoy the evening.
Thank you.
Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
The Webber Brothers.
A lot of good work.
Remember that name.
The Webber Brothers.
I'm telling you.
Remember.
There were some other Dallas brothers that are known.
Ah, we have more guests.
Gentlemen, come sit down.
Talk right into that microphone.
Tell everybody who you are and where you at in your high school career.
Well, I'm Jeremiah Doe.
This is my second year of building.
All right.
I'm Timothy Doe.
And this is my third year.
Timothy, you're right up on that microphone.
Is this your third year?
Yeah, third year.
All right.
How are you guys feeling right now?
Uh, I'm all right.
Just, it's over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're going to hand out some hardware here in a little while.
Hopefully.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we asked this of all of our guests.
Outside of the films, you worked on.
Because you're going to have a bias to those anyway.
What was the film that you saw that impressed you the most?
Outside of the ones you worked on?
Harvey Dinguis, the vote.
Very popular.
Very much enjoyed that.
Yeah.
That dance kind of caters to my style of dancing.
I guess.
Very, very Elaine Benis doing the Elaine.
And then they did that dance again in that other movie.
Do you remember that?
They crossed it over.
I don't know.
Oh, there was, there weren't two movies that crossed over each other.
Which I thought was kind of cool.
Oh, it was the physics of the year.
No, it was the...
The Labyrinth.
Yeah, the Labyrinth.
Oh, the Labyrinth had the dance.
And then they want to make a movie.
It was want to make a movie and then it was the...
The one that came right before it.
Where they had the same scene in both of them.
I don't know if you guys caught that.
No, it was also...
How are you to know?
Yeah, we were watching TV in the little grocery store.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And I was like, oh, I see what you did there.
So how are you to know?
And then they turn around and have it in the want to make a movie.
Which you guys are just...
In general, I'm always...
This is our third year doing this festival.
And...
I've just always so impressed at the level of talent.
Do you feel like it's something that you've had to work to get to
or is it someone you think it's been there all along
and you're just kind of sharpening now?
Um...
I feel like...
I feel like I've had to work at it for a lot
because when I started off film, like...
I honestly wasn't expecting to be in film
because I signed up for theatre as like my filler class.
But then...
Um...
Ms. Schubert, she called me during the summer
and she was like, hey, do you want to join film?
So I was like, yeah.
And then I am so glad I made that choice.
Because like, I love what I'm doing right now.
And I've become so much better at filmmaking.
Well, I joined film because he joined film.
And at first, I was...
I was pretty bad.
Like, I was...
I didn't know how to shoot shots.
But I knew how to make music.
So last year, my name tag had around seven movies,
just because I made music.
But that inspired me to make other things by myself.
And that's how I made these films this year.
Do you find yourself being drawn more to the music side of it?
Or the film side of it?
Probably the music side.
But it doesn't matter what the music is like
if the film is not cooperating with the music.
You know what?
And we've actually, on our show, we do lists every once in a while.
And early on in our show, we did a list of films
that were horrible films, but had really good soundtracks.
You know?
And a soundtrack does make the difference, though.
You know, it really...
I mean, there's...
I can't tell you how many times I've read stories about films where
they changed the song played in the film
versus what they played when they filmed it
because they found another song that worked better.
And an example of that is say anything.
Yeah.
In your eyes was not the song that he was playing
on the boombox when they filmed it.
They just got to hold the Peter Gabriel and they were like,
do we use this instead?
And we did.
So music does make the difference.
Could you see yourself doing both for a film
or do you have to separate?
I'm either going to do the music or the directing producing.
This year, the musical I made,
I kind of took charge in the cinematography and the plot and the music.
Okay.
So that was kind of my first experience with combining both of them.
How did that work for you?
Did you find that you liked it?
Or were you like, I'd rather kind of keep these things separated?
I liked it.
I kind of found myself distracted with like the music side of it.
And then for me, I also, I made music for the movie called
The Best Movie Ever.
And especially that one rap part.
Really?
The rap part.
Yeah.
Like that kind of thing.
I'm not going to lie to you.
We were just trying to figure out how to make like the movie
was like the most genres put together.
And then we were like, wait, what if instead of doing a musical,
we just made a rap.
So then that's how it happened.
And then I just like, I didn't necessarily have a lot of music experience
besides orchestra and piano.
But like film, it's been, it's still allowed me to use music in such an,
in such an interesting way to add on to what movies mean.
All right.
So we've got two more minutes with you guys.
We're asking this of everybody that sits down with us before we let you go.
What's the movie you're looking forward to seeing the most right now that you haven't yet?
Okay, repeat that.
What's the movie that you're looking forward to seeing the most right now that you haven't seen yet?
Endgame.
Endgame.
Endgame.
Amazing.
Detective Pikachu.
I haven't seen that.
You know what?
We were talking about on the show last week that like endgame.
And it makes a bazillion dollars.
And I'm like, did anybody realize Detective Pikachu comes out like next week?
Like there was just now that the media pushes now finally starting to happen.
But I think it's kind of a gutsy mood to release that two weeks after endgame.
But and it's Ryan Reynolds.
And he's going to have another mouth to feed.
Yeah, that is true when we're going to talk about that on our show tomorrow night.
Gentlemen, we're getting the highest time that you got to go hang out and eat food and then shake hands and kiss babies.
So thank you guys for hanging out.
Looking forward to hanging out with you guys later when we're out there handing out hardware.
Enjoy the evening.
Thank you.
You are listening to the Clubhouse podcast.
We are live to tape at the real Owl Cinema Film Festival at Garland High School.
It's our third year doing it and doing it well as the kids like to say
with the clothes in the hair.
Speaking of the kids with the clothes in the hair, we got two more sitting down in front of us.
You're right up on that microphone and introduce yourself please and where you're at in your high school career.
Oh, my name is Riley and I'm a third year.
Okay.
My name is Bethel and I'm also a third year.
So I, earlier, Schubert telling us,
smallest senior class he's ever had, biggest junior class he's ever had.
Your guys are getting ready to go into the last year.
Is there a sense?
Is there any kind of a sense of pressure to deliver on that last year?
Are you just like, look, we're going into this thing and we're just, we're coming in like a wrecking ball.
I really think there's especially a big sense for us to deliver because we have IB testing this year
and we have to make like really good movies for that so that we make our good green and the cause.
But also because this is like the year right before college.
Oh, I was going to say it.
What, what, what, what are we doing?
Yeah, pull up a chair if you want to pull up a chair.
I'm not going to, I don't discriminate, come on.
I don't have headphones for you or a microphone, but you can share one.
Hi, I'm slowly Nicole in Virginia at Garland High School and I love dogs.
All right.
Dogs, a big player in my life this week.
I don't know what's, it's like a motif in my life this week.
I'm sorry, you're saying.
Oh, I was saying while there is a lot of pressure as Riley said,
it's also, we've gone to know each other over the past three years and we know how everyone else works.
So we can have a lot more fun and experiment making new films.
Aside from the movies you worked on, because you can't pick those.
Was there a film that you saw tonight that really impressed you?
And which one was it?
You know, I always think that the Chronicles are part of you, dingus.
It just surprises me every time I watch it.
Oh, so this has been a series?
No, I'm just saying.
I mean, in theory, it's going to be a series, but I've seen it a lot and every time I try.
When you say Chronicles, it would imply that there will be more than one.
Yes.
What about you guys?
Get right up on that microphone and start.
I was actually really surprised by some of the sophomore movies, like Juno.
That was pretty good.
That was a full blown musical in seven minutes.
I was like, okay, we're doing this.
All right.
Yeah, one of my favorites was Riley's musical.
How are you to know?
And I thought it was, oh my god.
I thought it was really cool, like the transitions and the editing techniques.
You know, I mean, we can't talk much about it because we were judges.
So we can't talk about what we, we can't talk about what we saw.
But I will say I will agree with you on that.
I was impressed by the, by the use of color and transition.
So that even you could always tell where you were in the video at any moment.
And I thought that wasn't impressive.
I'm not afraid to say it because I can.
It's my show.
I can say whatever I want.
Talk about what this program has done for you as far as it, is it giving you more,
did you have a good awareness of film when you came in?
Or do you have a deeper awareness for film than you, than you came in?
And if so, how?
Okay, so.
Get right up on that microphone.
I have.
Whenever I first started at Garland High School, I had only really
doubled in like, photography.
And so once I joined the film program, I came to really love it.
And I'm actually thinking about pursuing it in college.
What aspect of it?
Like, I think directing.
I think that's where I'm going.
You like being in the chair?
Yeah.
Making the decisions.
I'm very assertive.
That's a good thing.
Thank you.
I find myself a lot more serious when I direct.
Like, to the point that it's like not a lot of joking.
I'm just, I'm very, all right, let's do it again.
This is what I want.
I can, I can.
It's my film.
It's okay.
That's why it's got an auto box.
That's why it's got an auto box.
Thank you.
Okay.
Before I started film at Garland, I never really watched movies like,
my parents were like, bro, do math or something.
You already watched a movie.
What do you need that for?
Of, and I'd only ever done, like, graphic design on Photoshop.
And so when I came into film, and I was like, oh my god.
People make films like everywhere all the time.
They're all good.
Most of them, some of them are good.
I was like, oh, so I enjoy film a lot.
And I've learned how to use things and work with people that I would
normally work with.
Nice.
Well, for me, I had to always watch movies as a kid.
And I was like that kid that would just stay home, like, all weekend,
and just watch the same movie over and over and over again.
And to go to the film program, it made the idea of making movies like possible for me.
Because I never thought, like, hey, this is something I could do.
But like, now I'm like, whoa, like, I could pursue this in college.
And like, it's something I could do that I enjoyed.
Okay, Riley, what is your go-to movie for watching over and over and over?
My friend and I spent all of Easter weekend watching limouser bills.
Oh, man.
And that was probably the first movie that like sparked it all.
Okay.
All right, I'm telling you, I have like three minutes left with you guys.
What is the, I'm asking this, have everybody that sits down?
What is the movie you're looking for most forward to seeing right now that you haven't seen yet?
At all.
Period.
Because I know you guys are busy with schoolwork.
Whatever.
So I haven't seen endgame yet.
So I guess we'll do that.
Hey, that's the number one choice right now.
That is number one with a bullet right now.
And it's an amazing.
It is everything.
That movie is everything.
My friends, like, they cried a lot.
So I'm excited.
And I refuse to spoil anything.
You have to go into this movie cold.
And by the time it's over, you're going to say I'm so glad I didn't know.
Me?
Okay.
Okay.
I love Christopher Nolan.
Okay.
So whatever the next thing he's going to make it.
I don't know if he's announced his next film.
Yeah, they announced like a tiny bit.
But I'm like, just give it to me.
It's like it's happening.
I like his style a lot.
Yeah.
He's very distinctive when he was like,
and plus he did the dark night trilogy.
And that just makes me happy.
Oh man, I have no idea.
The one movie that comes to mind for me is Shazam.
It is wonderful.
It is so wonderful.
I just really like comedy movies and superhero movies.
Well, you know Zach Levi's in town this weekend.
Zach Levi's in town.
He's that fan expo this weekend.
Big fan of him.
That movie is wonderful.
It hits all the notes.
It has all the feels in it.
So yes, Shazam has an excellent choice as well.
Don's telling me that you guys got to go hang out.
We're going to see you guys a little later because we're going to be presenting awards.
Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
Go enjoy the evening.
Thank you.
So much.
This show is fast.
It's fast.
It's fast.
It's fast.
Kids are brilliant.
Well, I can't even recognize kids.
These young adults are brilliant.
All right.
We got them.
See?
I'm just like that.
Boom.
Three more people.
That's how we get down.
Gentlemen, go ahead and get it right to those microphones.
Who you are and where you're at your high school careers.
What's up?
Your name?
Your name and what year you are.
Oh, it's a...
I'm Julian.
I'm a sophomore.
All right.
I'm Justin Stan.
I'm a freshman.
All right.
I'm a mural.
I'm a sophomore.
All right.
So some of the younger kids today.
They're hip.
They're hip.
They're with it.
That's us.
So, how are you guys feeling right now?
Like, for you, it's your first time going through this.
So, how are you guys feeling right now after going through the festival?
I feel good.
I don't know.
It's, um...
That's the kind of in-depth analysis you get from this show.
It's really been, um, it's an experience.
This is great.
Get right up on the microphone.
Oh, yeah.
This, it truly is an experience.
It's something that I've never really done before.
And I'm really enjoying it so far.
The experience is great.
It's, it's wonderful.
Julian, how about you?
Oh.
Um, it's like, it's really nice to see the way it came together.
Like, after months of anticipation, just having it finally here.
Are you, are you, are you trying to be exhaling a little bit now?
Yeah, it's like everything's showing.
Oh, like, yeah.
We're good.
You can just kind of relax now.
It's, it's, it's a really nice feeling.
It's very surreal.
Being, being in the, in the younger years of your high school careers and working on film.
Did you realize coming into this, the amount of work that was going to, that goes into this?
Or, or, or, do you look back and go, wow, that's, that's insane.
Yeah, it's, it's pretty crazy.
The amount of work that goes into it, you know, I just think it's crazy.
Well, um, I'm pretty sure like at the beginning, I was just like, all right,
this is not going to be that type of easy class.
And I kind of expected that from the start.
But like, the level of stuff that we had to do is something I'd never thought would ever do.
And it was really detailed and it's something I really enjoyed doing.
Um, actually, at the beginning, when I first started, I didn't think it would be this much work.
Um, when I came into the class, I didn't realize how many steps are worth before making a film.
Um, script, storyboards, pitching, everything.
Of the films you didn't, because take off the films you worked on in the festival.
Which one did you like the most out of the ones that she didn't work on?
Let me think about that one.
It's a hard one.
I like the bug one.
Ah, that's a great popular choice tonight.
Yeah.
The bug one was great, but I, and I really had, I really liked the one with, um,
I think it was midnight snack.
Ah, yes.
That was really relatable, and I think, yeah, it was really good.
The sound design on that I was impressed with.
The Holy work.
I think, uh, I don't know what to call it anymore, though.
I'm old.
As am I, I get it.
I'm with you.
I really liked, um, best movie ever.
Yes.
Because I like the concept of it.
Uh, I like how, because I've never seen that before.
Like, thinking of a movie and a movie.
But we've all had that conversation of like, yeah, I want to make a movie.
This is everything that would be in it.
Yeah.
And that had everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So is this, you know, as you guys are thinking down the road is film something that you really want to pursue.
Uh, perhaps, yeah.
Um, for me, I'd say be more of like a personal hobby.
Okay.
I really want to like get better in it.
Like, in case I have to do it for like, you know, like, there's like wedding stuff.
And there's like stuff at church.
There's a lot of things that like film is really applicable before.
And, um, maybe sometime along the line, I don't want to do the current thing I want to do.
And I can take film.
It can be a passion.
I, we were talking about earlier.
I actually produced short films at my day job, where it's just kind of neat to have a job where they're like,
hey, Rob, we want you to film a 10 minute video on how to do something.
And I'm like, yes, yes, I will do the, oh, and you're going to give me the software.
Yes.
Let's do that.
So I don't have to pay for it.
And then I can kind of do this stuff on the side too.
No, yeah.
I would, I would like to go into it.
Um, I'm just not sure where.
Well, you've got tons of time.
Yeah.
Think about it.
A couple of years.
I've just go, oh, maybe I look this part better than I like this part.
Or, you know, some people just prefer that behind the camera versus in front.
You know, I'm the kind of guy that I'll get in front of you need me to, but I kind of like to hang back a little bit too.
So I can kind of watch it all happen, take it all in.
And I really, as, as tough as editing is, it's one of my favorite things to do because watching it all come together.
And then watching it through and going, hey, I did that.
Yeah.
You know, yes.
I guess when you, when you do a good job in a movie and you see the final product, and it turns out really good,
like, you feel that all that work you put into it, it was worth it.
Yeah.
Speaking of editing, like, it's pretty weird, like, finding your foot and film, like, like, people come in,
like wanting to be like a director or an actor, and like, come out, being like an editor, like, sound designer,
like, it's just pretty crazy to see, you know.
What's your favorite part of the process?
Uh, in general.
Yeah, I went up to say editing.
Like, um, you, like, look at these, when you look at your actual footage after you've taken them,
you're just like, oh, whoa, how are we, this is going to go in here?
Is this going to go here?
And you try layout stuff, you might even change some stuff along the way.
Um, in, like, the darker that we did, we had an entire thing planned out,
but it ended up just taking, like, a new turn and decided to make it into something completely different.
And I think that's really wonderful about editing.
It can be anything you want to do, even if it's not like your original purpose.
All right.
We got about a minute left with you guys.
So we asked this to everybody that's been sitting down tonight.
What's the one movie right now that you're looking forward to seeing that you haven't seen yet?
And theaters?
In general.
Um, I want to see Skinhead by H24.
Oh, H24 is a great studio.
Yeah.
I really liked their movie, Lena and Pete.
It was a really good movie.
Her like eighth grade excellent film.
Yeah.
The movie was a really excellent.
Very, very good.
Very good.
Justin is thinking very hard.
Of course, you all at home.
I have stumped our guests.
Yes.
Um, it's just like the first thing that comes into my head.
Okay.
I don't do scary movies.
I don't either, actually.
But I'm intrigued by this one because I've done so many takes on it.
I just want to see it.
And it's making a ton of money.
Eight times.
Justin, what about you?
Um, I'd have to say, um, and this is really, really just for my personal thing.
You all heard you watch the room, I bet, right?
Many times.
I've seen it four times now.
So Tommy Wiseau.
He actually saw it with him a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, the room.
He was in town.
Yeah.
I really want to watch that new movie that he's got out best friends.
It should be available on DVD now, I think.
It is.
Yeah, because it's already gotten his theatrical run.
Interesting.
All right, gentlemen.
They're getting the highest signs.
You guys go, go hang out.
We'll see you guys a little while back in the auditorium because we're going to present some awards.
Thanks for hanging out, man.
No problem.
You are listening to the Clubhouse Podcast.
We are live at the Real Owl Cinema Film Festival 2019.
The 17th annual one of these.
It's on in their Galactic Star Wars day.
Hey, the next girl, she's going to get the guitar out and sing and chase you around.
I would have to run to be chased and that ain't going to happen, brother.
Besides, she ain't going to chase me.
She knows me.
She is iron woman.
All right, tell everybody who you are, please.
And where you're at in your high school career.
Hi, I'm Shadehada Nuga.
I'm in film two.
Yeah.
Hi, I'm Logan Monk.
I'm also in film two.
And no stranger to this young lady to my right.
She spent 36 hours hanging out with me recently.
She's our iron woman.
And we've already told her December 14th and 15th, right?
It down.
We're going to do it again.
One of our volunteers, four who need sleep.
I get to talk about it.
I'm the president.
I'm allowed.
That's what I go.
So now halfway, you're halfway done.
Yeah.
Two down two to go.
How do you feel now versus how you felt a year ago at this day?
Do you want to go?
I just kind of took a word.
Very good.
I had...
Get right up on that microphone.
Here, right up on it.
There you go.
Yeah.
Okay, being honest, none of us knew what we were doing
at the beginning of the year.
And this year was very experimental for us.
Because that's where we learned on the sound equipment,
lighting equipment.
So of course, you're going to feel a lot more confident.
What are you doing?
A lot more confident now than you were versus the very beginning.
And she's on three.
She's the third one over.
That's just two.
There we go.
So do you feel more confident now than you did?
Or are you still thinking you're figuring it out?
There's always room for improvement.
But yeah, definitely a lot more confident.
So how about you?
Yeah.
So yeah.
I think that my ideas, I think, have gone better from this year
from last year because last year, I was just like,
I don't know what I'm doing.
I just got to get something out, get the grade.
But this year, I was able to make more ideas and create
more complex concepts, I think.
And then also we introduced new equipment this year,
which made it a lot easier from last year.
Because last year's look like garbage.
So not to break my armpit and myself on the back.
But as part of the telethon this last year,
you got to do a lot of the stuff in the control room.
To the point where we were in our, you know, 22, 23,
you were actually showing your classmates how to use the equipment.
Did that experience translate it all to you to what you're doing here or no?
Okay.
I don't think it didn't really translate
because we don't use that same equipment or in the same context.
We do record the benefits concert every year.
But I mostly stayed down on the cameras instead of on the
booth because it was only a couple of, there's only two cameras
and it was only switching back and forth.
We have three now.
We moved up in the world.
Yeah, but it was very like simple camera are switching.
So I just stayed down on the cameras and nature the shots looked
it because there were a lot of like new people doing that.
But I do think it could translate in like,
in a professional standpoint and stuff.
Like if I ever wanted to get a job doing that,
I think that would be really helpful.
But like making films, not really because I did stay in the booth.
Okay.
For you, do you prefer in front of the camera or behind the camera?
Behind the camera.
What's your favorite part about the process?
Probably, I just like the whole idea process
because you like as an individual can come up with an idea,
but as a group, it could expand and it's make that idea a whole lot better
and it's make the story in general.
It's a lot more entertaining than everyone.
You see, I like the pre, but we were talking about this earlier.
Pre-production gives me so much anxiety.
Like once I get to post, it's like it's done and now I just get to play around with it.
Pre-production drives me absolutely bonkers.
And for me, I never know that it's,
I always want to fix one more thing.
So the post gives me more anxiety because I don't know when to stop.
Yeah, I think that is for us too and stuff because we,
like we have this idea and pre and like we go through all of it
and we plant it all out and then we always don't like have a location
or we don't have the actor that we want or something goes wrong.
And so in post-production we're like,
this is not the movie we plant.
We're just going to go with it.
But how many times do you get to there and you're like,
that was kind of cool.
You know, it's like, it's what I saw in my head,
but like this is better than what I saw in my head.
Sometimes.
That's not.
All right, so we're getting,
we've only got like a couple of minutes left to you guys,
so we've got to go back to the auditorium.
And we've asked, we always asked this,
have everybody that sits down with us,
what's the movie you're most looking forward to seeing right now?
Like.
It's in general.
In the theater?
In general.
Because I know you guys get so busy,
you don't always catch movies in the theater, so.
I was not for really any particular reason,
but I really want to see Shazam.
I know it's already coming out.
It's so good.
It's so good.
It's so good.
Riley wants to see it.
The two, you could do that.
It's so good.
Yeah.
But it really is.
The team's like a really cool concept,
and the trailers look really nice.
And Zach Levi's in town this weekend for Fan X-Pop.
Oh, um, like I'm a big superhero fan.
Of course, I want to go see Endgame,
but any theater you go to just has like lines all around.
Just wanting to go see it.
So because I was planning to go see it like last weekend,
but then it was like lines in line.
You're like, you know what?
I had to get myself a single seat on Thursday night in the third row.
Yeah.
But I was like, I'm not letting the Internet ruin this movie for me.
Yeah.
My mom had to get handicapped.
See.
But that's the whole thing.
It's like, go into this thing cold.
There's, I'm saying there's one place you can pee.
It's about the 55 minute mark when they're making a plan.
That's the best time to go to the bathroom.
Otherwise, you're going to miss awesome stuff.
So you got to pace yourself because it is a full three hours.
But it's so worth it.
It's right now.
It's my favorite movie with bias outside of my bias.
All right.
Don's telling us you guys got to go.
We're going to see you guys here a few minutes,
because we're going to go back to the auditorium.
Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
No problem.
Go enjoy the rest of the evening.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Is she going to sit down?
My turn.
She has got to be so sick of me telling this story.
But there will never come a day that I will not introduce
this person in this manner.
There's that one.
It has been in about seven weeks.
This show will celebrate nine years on the air.
What?
Wow.
There are two people in the history of this show
that without them, we don't get to cool,
do cool stuff like this.
One of them is Gary Murray.
Gary is the one that got us up and running on going to
press screenings so that we can see in review movies.
The other one is a lady that sits directly,
diagonally, catty corner to my right,
because she somehow got wind of us and invited us to do a
little thing called Dallas Video Fest almost seven years ago.
And that is Kelly Kitchens.
And she sits with us right now.
How are you, Fred?
We missed you a couple of weeks ago.
You know, yeah.
It's been a while since I've seen all of you guys together.
We haven't seen, I haven't seen you since Video Fest last
year.
Well, that's not it.
Except, you know, some of us made CNN,
but other things.
I saw a Christmas when I dropped off her gift.
You did.
I love her so much.
How do we finish off the real-round film festival every
year?
It's with this.
Every year, three years.
I said, if we get this thing next year, we will have seen an
entire class from a person who's going through.
Yes.
I think we think about that.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
And this year, of course, being on Intergalactic Star Wars
Day.
That was the theme.
So I decided I was not going to get fully dressed up.
Yes.
And plus, you know, and we'll talk about this more tomorrow night
on our show.
But the passing of Peter Mayhew this week.
I know.
I think we've been doing this for almost 20 years.
And to be able to celebrate him this weekend, it just.
It makes it that much more awesome for me.
Yeah.
Because I love him so much.
And when he's so missed.
And I don't know if you know this.
But Chad's getting married tonight.
I heard it.
Well, I would say by this point, it's already happy.
It's not married.
I heard it.
I was like, wait, Chad's getting married.
What?
Yeah.
Long story.
But yeah.
Didn't know that.
But congratulations, Chad.
And you may not know this.
We've got another show now.
We have a spin-off show.
Spin-off show?
Because you know we're on the vocal network.
Yes.
And vocal when we did the dip this year,
they brought the equipment out, and we
videoed our show at the dip this year for the first time,
which was so much fun.
That's awesome.
And so that they asked us about four weeks ago.
Actually, they asked about six.
We started about four weeks ago, where the wrestling thing
has its own show now.
Oh, my gosh, this is totally entertainment.
This is all sports entertainment now.
Woo-hoo!
So it's a little bit more work, but it's a lot more fun.
Well, there you go.
So I still call pro wrestling.
I don't care.
You can call it pro wrestling.
And I'm going to call it the belt, too.
Yeah, no, we don't want to do that.
But no, that show is called the Cheat Pop Cast.
Cheat?
Pop Cast, OK.
And that happens.
We do that show right before we do the main show.
OK.
And vocal has been amazing to supporting us,
and we're having so much fun.
And getting to do stuff like this with you,
because a lot of times you're just finding people
and bringing them to us.
Yes.
In this case, you've actually been able to come.
You sit down with us, because you're one of the fellow judges.
What did you think tonight?
Yes.
We don't have a whole ton of time, but we
don't have a little bit of time.
I was very impressed.
You can tell that the students this year,
the majority of the students are younger.
Mm-hmm.
Stuart said, smallest senior class he's
ever had, biggest junior class, was ever five seniors.
And we had them all.
All of them were on the show.
Oh, wow.
That's wow.
But you know what?
Congratulations to the seniors.
I know that this has been a tough year for them.
And to keep going and to keep doing what you love
and to keep doing what you know you need to do,
I think it's really important.
And so I just say a big congratulations to them.
So yeah, I'm really excited to see where all of these
new, younger people, how they take things
and where they go with them.
I think there was a lot of diversity this year,
more than I've seen in previous years,
and a lot of just a lot of more social awareness
than you would expect out of a group of teenagers.
Yes.
And the one thing that I missed, but is kind of in there anyway,
the one thing I missed is documentaries.
But they did.
You're right.
They did.
Yeah, we had to screen those separately.
So yeah, we actually, there were actually
there were four docs, but they didn't show them tonight
from a time constraint.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, we got to judge those off the books.
Oh.
So.
I didn't see it.
Well, I'm going to ask to see them.
Anyway, but yeah, I'm very excited for this particular class
and all the younger people where they're going to go with it.
So, and I hope, and oh, here's the other thing.
I'm working with the Pegasus Film Festival.
We saw that, and we're going to need to talk about that
at some point to see if we can work out.
These next six weeks, I mean, we have not
had a weekend off since, since March and Madden has started.
Wow.
Like, we've been, I've been booked on something every weekend.
And I'm booked right now every weekend until at least June.
But I want to see if we can work something out
so we can help you out on there if you want to see.
I hope so.
It's actually on May the 23rd, which is a Thursday.
So it's not a weekend.
Yeah, the Thursday before Memorial.
The weekend.
Correct.
All right.
So it looks like we've got to get moving back to the outturn
because we get to go hand out hardware.
But before we go, give everybody the plugs for you, please.
Yes, I'm Kelly Kitchens.
My Twitter account is Kelly J. Kit.
My Instagram is Kelly Kit PR.
My Facebook is Kelly Kitchens.
I wish I had thought to have them all the same.
But I didn't.
All right, well, let's do the plugs and get out of here
because we got to go hand out because they're
going to let us hand out awards.
This is one of my favorite things to do.
It's scary.
