The 21st Century College Media Geek

When I was a freshman at the Ithaca College School of Communications, I had a class called Introduction to Broadcast Production which included multiple sessions on being an eighties-style DJ. We spun records on multiple turntables, and read a mock weather reports. It seemed kind of silly at the time. Now it seems silly and quaint.

The current issue of the Ithaca College Quarterly touts CellFlix, "the first student film festival for movies shot entirely on a cell phone." The Dean of IC's Park School of Communications created the contest to "inspire and recognize creative uses of the medium." This kind of language sounds very familiar to me, having spent the past year or so producing Interactive industry events. I hope IC has a class on how to monetize all of this stuff. I know alot of people who'd want to audit it.
