Yesterday at school, the main poster-boy himself, Spike Lee had his regular class, and then dropped off a big cheque for $325K to the school.
I think that was pretty cool, as the interest from the cash goes towards two $10K production funds, which are sorely needed.
A few dignitaries showed up, but by and large it was just film folks. Perhaps the best part, was the nice spread after the presentation. Can't go wrong with free food.
The waxing of a physics teacher & filmmaker. I'll try to put in a mix of recent interesting science stuff, quick movie reviews, loose political ramblings and observations from my existence at NYU's grad film school (once as a student, now as a teacher).
