Shoemaker Vision repsonse

I know this is a little late, forgot to do it last Friday. I was able to attend the panel with Garrett Spake and other students discussing papers they have wrote about a variety of topics. Spakes look at marketing and the use of sequels and remakes really interested me. Obviously now we see this almost all of the time. But I had never thought much into its origins. The other presenters had intersting topics but none really hit home except Spakes. It was interesting to learn about the homophobia in these buddy films we have became so familiar with. I was sad that I was not able to make the first block that a film I worked on last semester screened in. The other filmmakers were pleased with the audience response to our film. I was also able to attend about 30 minuetes of the second film block. I had never been to visions before so I was interested in seeing what they screened. It was a wide variety which I liked keeping me focused without loosing my attention. I would have liked to attend more of the blocks but life got in the way.
