Présentation de l'éditeur In September of 2003, 21 hand-picked students began attending classes at SUNY Purchase's prestigious filmmaking conservatory and set out to earn their Bachelor of Fine Arts. Before the class could engage in actual film production, the students were assigned the task of writing a series of short stories. These stories were meant to sharpen the class's ability to create ideas and see them to fruition. This book is the result of that class: 23 tales of undeniable creativity and imagination. 23 tales by 12 authors that best represents the youthful ambition, idealism, cynicism, and explosive originality that this group, the next generation of American filmmakers, has to offer.Ralph ArendNoah BarrowNick D'AgostinoMichael GallucioBob GeileEmma GencarelliSara HahnJoseph LindquistBilly SongNate SpenglerRichard TanneCorrina Waxman Biographie de l'auteur Noah Barrow, Bob Geile, and Richard Tanne are the founding members of Essential Productions and the editors of this book.
