Hi Henry, Jake, Tchenzie, Liam, & Ben,

I appreciate your reaching out. And thanks for your interest in my work! I'm imagining this is not something you have a budget for - is that correct? I wouldn't be able to do an in person event without a stipend. However, if you want to do a zoom or call, that could work. Let me know a few days/times you were hoping for and I can see what I can do. 

Michele

Hello Michele,

We (5 undergraduate students at Olin College) are very interested in learning about independent and amateur filmmakers! As part of our collaborative design course, we are engaging with filmmakers to both learn about the experience and practice user-oriented design. We are interested in all things related to how you make your films, from casting to production to audio. We would love to ask you questions in person and see what you do firsthand, ideally for about 60 minutes. If in person doesn’t work, calling online would still be hugely helpful. 

 

Thank you for your time and consideration,

 

Henry, Jake, Tchenzie, Liam, Ben
