Sample Letter

Dear Andrew,
Thank you for allowing us to view your work. I really enjoyed the interviews with these two gentlemen who seem to have a terribly difficult workload and not many good, quiet places to study. It seems to me that your intention was to highlight the conditions here at ASU, an enormous school with demanding scholastic work and not enough resources and the way these conditions affect students, perhaps international students most of all. The content flowed well—the interview was on topic for the video’s entirety and I liked the cutaways you used in the first interview. The second interview perhaps suffered from not having any cutaways or indeed any additional editing—it got a little long for me. At the end of the doc I find myself wondering how I should feel—I think perhaps a moment or two with each of your subjects that touches on something personal that they have lost due to their school requirements may lend the documentary a bit of gravity and some emotional pull. Looking forward to the final cut!

Courtney
