Nicole Dreiske

So I reluctantly went to the Nicole Dreiske lecture the other day because I needed chapel credit and something to blog about. I’m so glad I went though, as it turned out to be a really, really great lecture. Nicole Dreiske is a very good speaker and I was totally into everything she said. She made what could have been a boring lecture into a really fun and interesting lecture. 

The whole idea of spin and not getting caught up in your own spin was something I had never thought about, and I know it will be very valuable for me as I go into the film industry. But I think what I found most interesting was when she talked about her history, starting with theatre and then her work with the Chicago Children’s Film Festival. I was surprised that she had kids on the selection board, but now that I think about it that makes sense. Very cool.

So in summary the lecture was way more interesting than I had anticipated, and I was able to take many valuable lessons from it.
