The New York Times reported today about the Broadcast Digital Journalism classes offered at the New York Film Academy's in partnership with NBC:
Straying far afield from its core business of reporting the news, NBC News is getting into the education business.
Readers of media-related Web sites have been bombarded with ads promoting NBC News’s partnership with the New York Film Academy. In Los Angeles, billboards for the four-week, eight-week and one-year digital journalism training programs loom large, part of an aggressive ad campaign to spread the word before the first summer classes.
A crying need for training in digital technologies is one of the motivating forces for its new business venture, NBC News executives said. More than 80 prospective students, some of them midcareer journalists seeking to keep their skills up to date, turned out on April 5 for an open house at NBC’s Rockefeller Center headquarters to promote the program, said Lyne Pitts, an NBC News vice president.

This came by way of the Consuming Louisville website:
Winding Road is a low-budget independent film, funded solely by (Justine) Feldt and her co-producer and assistant director, Claire Thixton. Because of Louisville's thriving art scene and support of independent artists, Feldt was able to find many volunteers and musicians to help make the film a success. The film was entirely shot in Kentucky, with the majority of scenes filmed in the Louisville area. As a female filmmaker, Feldt is an advocate for gender-equality behind the camera. Feldt, who has attended the New York Film Academy and was apart of the 2006 Samsung Fresh Films competition, hopes that Winding Road will lead her to more filmmaking opportunities.

From the Stamford Advocate about one of our Film School students:
The University of Connecticut in Stamford will hold a screening and discussion of a Friedrich Durrenmatt film adaptation next week.Read the rest of the article here.
Resident filmmaker Michael P. O'Toole, a recent UConn graduate and student at the New York Film Academy, will present his first mini-feature, "The Breakdown," based on Durrenmatt's short story "Traps."
The story takes place on a summer day in 1964, when a traveling salesman's car breaks down. The salesman comes across a country house, explains his situation to an old man working in the garden and asks to use the telephone. The salesman is obliged to stay for dinner and the old man, a retired judge, invites two friends over to join them. The three men suggest a parlor game at dinner, a friendly mock trial where the salesman is put in the role of the defendant.
