my take on being "Leeperized"

With this blog i would just like to express my current thoughts on this class. The class itself is very enjoyable and at some moments very challenging. However, the kind of film maker i want to be i don't think involves all this deep level of art and emotion. On the other end of the spectrum i also do not want to make dry boring films that nobody will watch. I think my passion falls somewhere between these too extremes where i just want to learn how to tell a good story that people can enjoy and also be able to get detect some level of christian moral undertone from my works. Maybe this means i am completely delusional and if that is the case then i guess i'm in the right place to learn what i need to learn. Along the lines of one of the readings we were assigned by David Mamet, "But the purpose of art is not to change but to delight. I don't think its purpose is to enlighten us. i don't think it's to change us. I don't think it's to teach us." So unlike the other girl, i believe Kayla was her name, i wouldn't say this class makes me depressed about my passions; rather it makes me feel slightly unsettled about the quality of the style of films i want to create in the future.
