Popcorn time

Today was the last day that I got to help out at the Internationl Film Fest at the Mouson Turm museum in Frankfurt. My first thoughts were I just want to get out of my place as much as I can and keep myself occupied. But MAN! Can I say it was such a great experience going to and working for this Museum. Absolutely phenomenal. My first job was to help prepare a 3D film studio. The Nexxos Hall (They partnered with Mouson Turm) was exactly where I was working. It was specifically called Virtually Reality. This part of the Film festival was sponsored by Samsung. Samsung provided the phones and the Virtual reality headgear. It took a day for me to actually learn how to properly use them. Keep in mind *Man whispers* THIS WAS ALL IN GERMAN. So I had a fun time actually using the German language in a job setting. I completely understood everything that was said to me, including every direction, demand,  and peace of advice. The other side of the Film festival was actually in the Mouson Turm Museum. I also contributed to this side of the festival, by putting up posters, to handing out flyers, organizing the table for display for arriving consumers. Everything must be in an orderly fashion. This is something I’ve learned being in Germany, business comes first, then you can enjoy going out. That is exactly what everyone did. The Museum sponsored a club night. I can honestly say I still don’t like that type of nightlife. One might say It does not tickle my fancy. Nonetheless, I went and had a great time with my colleagues.  I was also blessed to be given the opportunity to watch 6 of the films showing at the Film festival. There were programs set up to show many short films, and then there were programs that only showed one film. I personally liked all the films. They were extremely creative in how they went about constructing the film. Someone films had no talking, others were from sky view (when the audience is looking down on the actors/actresses, a sort of top down view.) The subject and/or themes within the films were very different from each other. That is one thing I liked about these films is that they also keep me amazed with different topics and subjects. The best part about this experience is that when the films were over you got the opportunity to speak with and ask questions to the directors, producers, actors, actresses, camera workers, and it did not matter because everyone had a clear understanding of what they were trying to achieve. My colleagues were very generous and thoughtful of me. Giving me food, drinks, passes, allowing me to see the films, hanging out with me. Yes, there is one part that I left out. I would like to thank Virginia Wesleyan for this opportunity. I would not be here and have experienced this if it were not for them entrusting me to be a good ambassador. Alright, that is all for today folks. Thank you for reading my blog and please stay tuned.
