Hundreds of prospective students and their parents arrived for the opening reception, where in-coming students mingled with alumni and staff to learn a bit more about the school. Each of the films had someone from their team in attendance to chat with the guests, and to give them a taste of what life at Dodge College is like.<\/p>\n<p>After, the crowd made their way into the theater for a brief introduction by Dean Bob Bassett before watching the five films. At the conclusion of the event, a reception was held in the lobby, where the filmmakers and prospective students yet again were able to chat.<\/p>\n<p>Having your film show at First Cut is always a huge honor, and our filmmakers are thrilled to share them with prospective students. Everyone who attended walked away with a good idea of what Dodge is all about, and the quality of work that the students do. If you missed out on First Cut LA, don&#8217;t worry! There are a few more opportunities to see the films, as we make the rounds in New York City, San Francisco, and in Orange.
