My Scholarship entry - Through Local Eyes WORLDWIDE | Sunday, 14 October 2012 | Views [3081] | Comments [51] | Scholarship Entry



Jamie Oliveira (Director/Presenter/Editor): Documentary Film Production student attending SFSU. I had the vision to portray SF in its true light by immersing myself in the diverse neighborhoods. I tried my best to complete this vision by pulling all nighters in 2 days of filming/editing (only found out about this on a WWOOF website Oct. 12!). My filmmaking knowledge is self-taught, as so far in school I have only studied theory. My adventurous spirit has a burning desire to create & filmmaking is the most dynamic medium for capturing the human experience. This opportunity would mean the world to me as I am a bit of a wanderlust & I could really benefit from the mentorship experience.



Pawara Soh (Filmmaker): I’m a film student from Malaysia, studying at SFSU. Being a film student, I am always aspired to engage my life experience into visual arts. Filmmaking is definitely what I aim to pursue as my future career. Thus, I believe I would be an ideal candidate to receive this opportunity to sharpen & improve my craft of filmmaking skills, as well as to broaden my cultural horizons in Brazil.



Music: “City Girl” by Sam Kraft, a friend who sadly passed away this week in a car accident.
