Endslate 2014: QUT Film, Screen & Animation Graduates

From the 2014 program " To make a film is to be part of a team, with each member of the team making a valuable distinct, personal contribution to the project. Throughout the three years of this degree the students have refined their creative skills. acquired knowledge and most importantly, they have grown in character. Enthusiasm. commitment and a respect for one another are just some of the qualities that they have had to draw upon to bring these projects to life. They are filmmakers who are driven to become masters of the craft of storytelling- stories that transport audiences on emotional journeys of entertainment, discovery and insight. And having come to the end of this course they now embark on a new journey - one that will require persistence and application if they are to succeed - but this is the journey that will define them as filmmakers. If I may share a parting thought with you all. It is held in the notion that truly creative work is informed by the unique - the distinctly individual understanding we each have of the world. And I offer three quotes that might illuminate this notion:

The first, from Stanislavsky - The person you are is a thousand times more interesting than the person you might ever hope to be. And these from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - If you would create something. you must be something And; Until one is committed there is always hesitancy. The chance to draw back. Always ineffectiveness ... Whatever you can do or dream. you can begin it. Boldness has genius. power and magic in it. On behalf of all the staff in the discipline I wish all students great success in all that they do. Associate Professor Geoff Portmann Head of Film, Screen and Animation
