Mentor for students interested in Film and Creative Writing

Sara S.

I recently graduated Cum Laude from the University of Georgia. I currently have my Bachelor's degree in Entertainment and Media Studies. I also have a minor in Film Studies and a certificate in News Literacy. Throughout my time in college, I wrote numerous short film screenplays, plays, film analysis essays, and film reviews. Along with writing many scripts, I also directed and worked on a number of films. I have worked on student sets for short films and have also worked on large scale film sets for companies such as Marvel and Paramount. Most recently, I completed a study abroad program where I got to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Through this program, I attended numerous festival events, such as screenings and Q&A's. During the festival, I wrote a number of film reviews about the films I saw at the festival. I reviewed feedback from experienced screenwriters and producers in the industry and implemented it into my work.

After gaining first hand experience into how the film industry works, I would like to mentor and tutor students who are interested in film. I can help students in a number of ways such as taking the first step in creating their own short film and guiding them throughout the process, brainstorming for creative writing, teaching students about film analysis or film reviewing and giving them guidance on writing essays, providing feedback for film school admissions, etc. I would like to help students not only develop their taste, but also establish a deeper connection to film and how it can relate to the real world.
