| DOM Producer Spotlight: Jeremiah Zentz |
 How did you first become interest in producing media?
My first interest was in performance and writing. I did a stand-up routine for my family when I was 8 or 9. I wrote a slew of poems in middle school that mysteriously disappeared not long after I showed them to my mom. I was heart-broken. Anyway, I was too shy to audition for anything until my senior year in high school. I loved the rush of putting on a show, not just performing in it, but putting together a story. I pursued acting and writing in college, majoring in Speech-Drama and English, a good combination to manage a double-majoring. Shakespeare, for example, was required courses for both degrees. I was actually taking an elective, when my professor had me attend one of his Wednesday night indie/foreign film screenings for an assignment. I ended up attending just about every subsequent screening, developing a fascination for film. Here's an art that combines just about every other form in it -- acting, writing, music, photography, etc. Eventually, it led to me buying my first computer, an iMac and a DV camcorder. The same day I got my camcorder I spent about four hours putting together a stop-animation of random stuff in my living room -- shoes, beer cans, VHS tapes, moving around snake-like, sometimes spinning, on my floor. I would later take the camcorder out just about everywhere, documenting life as a college student, or rather life outside of college-- raves, parties, etc. It came in handy when atomfilms was asking for video submissions about why I should tour the country digitally recording the experience. I got the internship, and with it a copy of Final Cut Pro 1! I also got to work with a Canon GL1, my first experience with professional video equipment.

OMF Spotlight: Brianna Cillessen, Public Access Work-Study

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Brianna, and I am a film production major at the University of Colorado at Denver. I love video games, I am a science fiction geek, I dream of creating an International nonprofit organization, and I am a second-generation American, with most of my family still living in Brazil. I graduated from high school after doing the standardized job test thing that was supposed to tell all seniors the best job for their personality. Mine told me that I would be a great engineer, so my first year of college I was a computer engineer student. I was really good at it, having already completed 2 full years of calculus and intensive studies in physics when I was in high school, but I wasn't happy. I decided to go into something I loved and have had 7 years of experience with - theater. It was cool at first, but the theater professors all had tenure and wouldn't really teach and would fight with each other all the time. I heard from eavesdropping that the film program was fun, so I finally made my last major change and ended up there, and I love it. I have never had so much fun with school before, and it really inspired me to get out and make my future happen.
