Alejandro's Short Films

I was so happy to see someone from Centenary College of Louisiana get into USC grad school. I actually e-mailed their Graduate Admissions office my senior year in high school to see if they would accept anyone from Centenary. However, I was beginning to think that grad school is not worth the time and money after talking to some people. Hearing Alejandro's experience gave me a better idea about the projects they do. I had thought that they only critique movies, and you never get experience. I have a positive view of film grad school again.
My favorite project was his black and white film, Pituco. He was able to have so much depth and meaning in a short film which I am currently struggling with in the film classes here. The casting was well done and his explanation gives me an idea of how to look for actors in the future. If he returned with more film, I would definately go to see them.
