作者:Rosemary preite

"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.(达赖喇嘛)

才气Bougas, 电影专业的大四学生, 最近写, 导演, 并制作了这部短片, “色盲.安杰洛斯说。, 整个夏天, while millions across the United States were taking part in protests to support the Black Lives Matter movement, 我和家人在希腊, 无法参与. 我想找到一种有意义的方式来表达我的支持, and that is how I came up with the idea to create this short film, 色盲.

The aim of the film is to highlight the systemic problem of violence against people of color and to elevate racial consciousness. I strongly believe that creativity is vital for the existence of safe spaces that promote 学习ing and discussion on issues of race.”

不足为奇的是, Angelos’s professors in the film department speak highly of his talent as a filmmaker, 他的创造力, 以及他对社会正义的承诺:

这句话出自令人难忘的电影《电子游戏软件》的结尾, 瑞克和路易斯上尉走了, 里克对法国军官说, “路易, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship…" A coincidental meeting with 才气Bougas at the Chocolate Bar in Stokes several years ago has led to not only a beautiful friendship, but a professional cinematic collaboration that led this highly gifted student filmmaker to 德国, 法国, 和立陶宛追求社会正义叙事. 在每个国家, 得到了雅克·萨尔马诺维茨项目的资助, he produced footage that is visually striking and most socially enlightening. 我的妻子苏珊, 同路人, and I wish Angelos all the best as he heads off to a brilliant career in the media.” (John Michalczyk, Professor and Director of 电影电子游戏正规平台)

“Angelos is one of the most gifted BC undergraduates I have had the pleasure to work with. His talents as a film maker are extraordinary for someone so young. His documentaries for the Guestbook Project on refugees and immigrants have had a deep impact on our viewers. 他是一位罕见的、慷慨的、鼓舞人心的年轻艺术家.理查德·卡尼说, Charles Seelig Chair of 哲学 at BC and international director of the Guestbook Project).

“I not only had the pleasure of having Angelos as a student in my Cinematography class, 我还去了慕尼黑, 德国, 和Michalczyk教授一起拍摄纪录片. 安杰洛斯已经证明了他的足智多谋, 他在摄影方面极具创造力和天赋, 特别是无人机.(电影电子游戏正规平台教授罗伯特·海姆)

I recently spoke with Angelos about his experience as a student at BC, as well as his life goals.

你为什么决定主修电影电子游戏正规平台?

从我记事起, I distinctly recall my father videotaping some of my childhood’s most intimate moments. This constant exposure to film allowed me to develop a very personal connection with cameras, eventually pushing me to pursue my own desire for directing and producing.

无论是私人的事情, or an important social problem that exists in the world, film has provided me with the opportunity to capture precious moments, 关注全球问题, 讲述我希望被记住的故事.

它与你在BC大学的整个项目有什么关系?

通过电子游戏软件的各种资助, I had the opportunity to pursue sociopolitical film projects around the world. These experiences made me realize that a strong knowledge of politics and cultures would add immense value to my projects.

While time constraints did not allow me to pursue a second major in International Studies, I was able to take an IS minor with a focus on Cooperation and Conflict. 整体, the international studies minor better equipped me to recognize a valuable story, while the 电影电子游戏正规平台 major gave me the tools to tell it.

哪些电影老师和/或课程激励了你?

Professor John Michalczyk, the director of the film studies program, has been my great mentor. He treated me like family since we met during my freshman year and has constantly and enthusiastically provided me with opportunities to create, 学习, 和成长.

Professor Charles Derber’s “Peace or War” class and Professor Richard Kearney’s Guestbook Project Initiative have also been incredible sources of inspiration. Professor Derber has pushed me to look beyond news headlines in search of political truth, while Professor Kearney has showed me the value of selfless humanity.

Have you had internships or summer jobs in the film studies area? 你学到了什么??

在我大二的夏天, I worked as the assistant for the creative director of Deadline Hollywood as part of the Cannes Film Festival. Over the other summers, I worked on various creative projects.

My experiences have taught me that the creative world has countless opportunities to offer, and the best way to find what fuels your passion is to experiment.

毕业后你打算做什么?

My plan is to work on a business start-up in Zambia with one of my closest friends from Georgetown University.

你的电影学习与你的职业目标有什么关系?

Whether or not my career ends up being centered around film production, my goal is twofold. First, I want to take an active role in bringing positive sociocultural outcomes. Second, I hope to be able to spread my creative ideas through passionate, inspiring, and humane work.

What advice would you give to students in the 电影电子游戏正规平台 program?

Take advantage of the numerous grant opportunities that BC has to offer and constantly push yourself to create. Personal passion projects are an excellent way to get attention. Seek out advice from others and do not be afraid to fail. You will be impressed by how much you will improve from project to project. Display your most proud work on your website and keep creating. 你的投资组合就是你的生命线.
