I enjoyed the entire seminar with Burgess on Thursday.
His short film was humorous and kept my interest all throughout.
The way the plot unfolded showed Burgess's directing talents.
The reoccurring themes in the film added humor in a creative and subtle way.
This also showed the thought that went into the film.
After the showing of his short film Burgess came in and talked about his full length feature.
The thing that interested me was when Burgess said he felt like the seminar could have been a turning point in his life where he was no longer the student but the teacher or a model figure.
This struck deep for me because I was present during his realization that he is on the upside of his career as a movie director.
Saturday I had the same realization and feeling of being of the other side of the fence of once.
I remembered the days I would go to USC and watch their football teams opening spring scrimmage and there I was this Saturday playing in my first college scrimmage with young kids watching me.
Receiving insight about a film from Burgess himself was an amazing experience.
And watching One Small Hitch after receiving insight made it even better because I felt as if I had an aspect of the movie that everyone else in the theater was missing.

ESPN workshop
The ESPN workshop gave insight into what recruiters are looking for in potential hires.
The goal of recruiters is to find future employees that could have an influence on the company not just interns to fill positions.
The representatives from ESPN told us about their specific positions and how they got their jobs.
They look for people who are well rounded, passionate about sports, creative, leaders, and hard workers.
Someone whom is well rounded in their eyes is a person who is involved in multiple activities and can handle performing multiple tasks at once.
Little details like having digital and social media skills, leadership roles, and a connection with the sports realm is what can set individuals apart from the crowd.
The representatives went on to describe what they look for on resumes and how interviews are conducted.
Regarding resumes they want interns to key in on points that were emphasized in the job description.
The key is to sell yourself and add aspects that only apply to the internship.
Presentation and first impressions are huge in the interviews they conduct.
Having ideas about the product and giving insight about the company is something that can set individuals apart.
Lastly, the person conducting the interview will ask if you personally have any questions.
You must ask questions or they will immediately add you to the rejection pile.
