I was recently going through some old files on my computer and came across a document I had written as prep for the first SDF. We were setting up our website and my boss asked me to write up a history of the SDF for it, so this is what I wrote. I thought you all might enjoy it. (Oh and at the time were doing a bit of fund raising for the school by landscaping for people)
The School of Digital Filmmaking and Landscaping (or SDFL) started in 2007 when some filmmakers decided that there was better and easier money in landscaping, but they couldn’t get as many girls by saying they were landscapers. So they got themselves lots of training and learned how to make movies, they became fairly good at it (some fairer then others) but no money came in. So instead of trying to make more movies to make money (which was only a little bit more difficult) they started mowing lawns and pruning hedges, the pay wasn’t good, but it didn’t require much thought, and was therefore easier. From this they got the idea to become landscapers. After a few failed attempts to pick up on women they got together to discuss the problem. They had previously been able to get any one they wanted. They realized that they could no longer get women because they called themselves gardeners and landscapers. Right then and there they realized that they could have the best of both worlds by just saying they made movies. They had enough knowledge and stories to convince the women for at least a day, and that’s all they really wanted. And they also got buff and tan from working outside which helped as well. And thus the SDFL was formed, and now they strive to teach these important tricks to others.
I don't know why my boss didn't use it
