Out of all of the NYU and USC visual samples I've seen, yours is by far the best. I hope you've entered this in some festivals my friend. I also hope that my visual sample will eventually be half this amazing once I apply in the fall, because I know for a fact you got accepted with this.

WOW, what amazing production value. You all have skillz!

A writer's life? Well, make sure you know what you;re getting into. Part of being a writer, or any artist, means doing PR at the same time. My senior year English teacher told me I was wordy, and offered no real guidance, so it threw me off my game for a minute. But BUILD your own audience as an artist and you'll find the feedback that you need- the sort that encourages your development.
