RiseUp screens for Graduate Documentary Production Class at USC!
This past Monday, February 1st, RiseUp had the privilege of screening for students at USC's Cinema Studies Department, for their graduate documentary production class. The screening took place at a stunning state-of-the-art theater inside the brand-new cinema studies building that was constructed thanks to a generous donation of 170 million dollars from USC alumni George Lucas.
Rise Up was one of their first screenings in the facility and celebrated professor Amanda Pope was instrumental in making it a great experience. She conducted a 1 1/2 hr Q&A between director Luciano Blotta and the students who learned about all the unusual stories in the making of the film as well as the technical implications of its making. After the screening, Luciano Blotta stated: "It was a real pleasure for me to talk to the students, because unlike other Q&A sessions where we focus on the stories behind the making of the film, this time we also discussed a lot of the cinematic aspects and technical issues regarding the film, things that maybe filmmakers only understand and are very interested in learning about. It was a great time and a real honor to be there for that."
RiseUp wishes to thank USC, professor Amanda Pope and alumni Cesare Wright for their support and continued interest in the film. BigUps!
