You want to instill more than confidence with a resume. You want someone to see what you've done and think, "Holy shit, we would be SO LUCKY to get this person in here to do this."

Strike "Vancouver Film School" from that first credit. And as many other credits as you can. Education should be way way way down at the bottom of a resume if it's there at all. Any project you did while in school you can claim as a production, employers don't care if it was for "school" or not. You still did it. Claiming "SCHOOL!" or "COLLEGE!" (does uni =/= college in Canada like GB?) is something that amateurs and recent graduates cling to. Differentiate yourself. Present as professional.

Your descriptors don't need to be complete sentences. "I was responsible for the" are five words that add nothing to the description of your work.

Stuff that isn't directly related to the job you're applying for, like working at Toys R Us and a library when looking for vfx work, are pointless.

ESPECIALLY if you're applying for a position that requires some sort of visual eye, take some time to design something nice out of your resume. Pay attention to the layout, the typefaces, all of it. Your email address says "chriswalkerisanartist" but I sure as fuck wouldn't be able to tell from the way this word document is laid out.

I did the right thing by skipping this movie, huh?

What's heard is more important than what's said.

Watched it last summer, for pleasure, rather than history. Liked it a lot.

"Look... I think it's a very good thing that a young man, after he's done some very good work should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself and lie around and drink beer and so on. But after a few weeks!"

I wasn't speaking to the new style writ large. The non-specific discussion episodes are great – unhinging from a film lets the discussion drive rather than a movie. More a warning that most movies ever in theatres are mediocre, which is more dangerous to comment and criticism than good or bad.

There's an issue with current releases. Nine out of ten times, the films available to discuss on a given week will turn out to be forgettable bullshit, which can really drag down the level of discourse. Which is a bummer, since we've been treated to thoughtful discussion of the most notable (for good, ill, or otherwise) films of the last 40 years since the show started.

If I saw this three hours ago I would have walked over and recorded it for you.
