Alec’s First IMDb Credit
I got two text messages from Alec today. At first, I thought he was writing about something he needed to buy because the text message said something about credit. Then I realized he was telling me that he had his FIRST Internet Movie Database — IMDb credit. It was terribly exciting. Now, both Alec and Jacob are on IMDb. Former students Mike Luciano, Jake Parker, and Kohl Glass are also on IMDb. It’s very satisfying to know that people may have been able to use what they’ve learned in work that they really love … and are recognized for … a very cool thing indeed.
On February 15, it was two (2) years that Alec had been in Manhattan. It was the spring of 2006 that he went and, to be honest, I had my doubts that he would stay there. He was barely 18 and he went alone. He took a class and found a post-production job. In August, he went to Zambia as part of the film crew. In October, he returned to NYC with Jacob in tow. After their experience in Zambia, they were ready for the challenges of establishing themselves in the industry. Their credits in IMDb let everyone know they’re making their way, on their own, under their own steam.
