Anonymous asked: cinematography ?
Anonymous asked: I got accepted into Chapman's MFA in Cinematography program but it's insanely expensive. Plus undergrad, I would be almost $200,000 in debt. I can't figure out if I should go or not. Do you feel like getting your MFA was worth the huge cost? Is it helping you achieve your goals or putting you further behind?

sillylovelywoman asked: Price range right now is about 1500 for a video camera and 1000 for a still camera. I want to make short films that look somewhat quality. I know to get the quality I want I'm going to have to spend big bucks but I'm not there yet.

I keep being presented with amazing opportunities, but in a panic have been turning a lot of them down because I am searching for some sort of security…I don’t even know if it’s financial, or just...

Masters Vagina Hoods.
So when I picked up my cap and gown from school, they never gave me my hood. So I have to go and find one tomorrow. They are so ugly. They look like vaginas.
