Yesterday we had filmmaker Sean Apuzzo and photographer Kate Le Roux visit and speak to classes and the Media Art Honor Society about their work and their experience at SCAD.  They both offered some great advice for students from wide ranging suggestions such as taking advantage of some of the grants an scholorships offered for college to more specific advice such as how to structure a screenplay and the importance of keeping it dynamic in the first 12 pages.

Tomorrow we will welcome two guest speakers, Smithtown alum Sean Apuzzo who is a filmmaker and Kate Le Roux from Australia who is a photographer both of whom are currently finishing up their degrees at SCAD in Savannah.  They will be speaking to the media classes and after school to the Art & Media Art Honor Society about their work and college experience and what they have learned.

Sean Apuzzo, a Smithtown Graduate

Sean Apuzzo, a Smithtown East graduate who is currently attending the Savannah College of Art and Design will be directing a ten-minute short film about a German Messenger on the front lines of battle during World War I and his film proposal is now up on Kickstarter. It's the story of a brave, artistic German soldier of WWI, who is cared for by French locals and finds love, but turns out to be someone unexpected. You can help fund the project for as little as a dollar but there are rewards for $50, $100, and other increments and in addition to helping support out alumni you'll be part of a film!
