Art Event
- San Diego Asian Film Festival, April 20, 2012, Film Festival.
- I will remember the film from this event. I also will remember being surprised about how much I really enjoyed the film, even being in subtitles.
- There was nothing too specific that can influence my work because I do not work in film.
- I discovered to give all cinema a chance. I really didn’t think I would like anything at an Asian film festival and I was mistaken.
- There were no flaws in the event. The Asian Film Festival committee did a good job and even spoke about the film before its viewing.
- I learned somewhat about Asian Style of films and how its somewhat different from Western styles.
- I do respect the person who produced this film because it was very good.

- Precious Knowledge Event & screening,@ CSUSM, April 11, 2012
- I came away from this event with so much knowledge about the issues going on in Arizona. The film was about the Ethnic Studies programs being banned from the schools.
- Something specific that can influence me would be to take action in what I believe in. These kids fought/are still fighting for this program to be let back into schools.
- I will rethink the way I think about any ethnic studies or teachings I hear about or see. People think it is Anti-American or bad to have in schools, but looking at it from the other side it actually really helped these kids.
- There were no flaws in the event. After the screening and initial speech on the topic, the presenter, Priscilla Rodriguez, stayed for a long time and answered questions which I thought was nice of her to do.
- I learned something about the film aspect of the event. The film we screened was so nicely made and influential that it definitely demonstrates how to make a persuasive documentary.
- I truly felt respect for the presenter Priscilla. She was a student herself and was also featured in the film. She was so active in the cause and really was inspiring.

- Visiting Artist Brian Hu @ CSUSM, Feb 15, 2012, Organizer of the San Diego Asian Film Foundation came to CSUSM to lecture on Contemporary Asian Cinema and the “long take”.
- This event was helpful and I came away with a few things I definitely did not know about Asian Film and how they do extremely long takes and it is cool because you are seeing all of the movies actions preformed in real-time.
- This lecture might really influence my own work. In American film, we do so many short, quick cuts and its because of our “more, faster, NOW, NOW, NOW” attitudes. I might try to do some longer takes in film.
- I might look past the long take being “boring” and think really about what the director is trying to convey.
- The lecture did not have any flaws. He was well-prepared and had a lot of clips to demonstrate what he was talking about.
- I learned some huge differences between Asian Cinema and Western film and how they are similar in few ways.
- Yes, I felt respect for the artist because he was a very educated man who seemed passionate for film and cinema.
