Film, and Animation, and Creative Writing. Oh My!

This symposium was kind of a trip. I mean we sat there as they showed us some crazy animation and then did a round table discussion on it. While I loved the stuff they showed us I didn't connect as much to the symposium as I had hoped to. They gave us a paper to fill out and while it had some cool stuff on it, it also made me feel like they didn't value movies that weren't philosophical or poetic when sometimes I just want to zone out and enjoy a simple movie. The world needs Paul Blart Mall Cop, The Inbetweeners, and other works that are just meant to be funny. Getting people to turn off their brain after a long day and getting a laugh out of them is beautiful and is art. Maybe I'm taking it out of context but it's still a good thing to say none the less. I really hope for more symposiums that talk about writing of any kind.
