ON FILM: Creative Mind Institute at Cannes

  Charles talks with Daniel Rios, a student at NMSU's Creative Media Institute; and Katherine Horak, a student at the University of Texas at Austin.  Daniel & Katherine recently attended the Cannes Film Festival as part of the Creative Mind Group's efforts to send student interns to prestigious film festivals in Cannes, Sundance, and Toronto.  Daniel & Katherine had vastly different experiences at Cannes.  Daniel worked under Creative Mind's Networking program, in which he was able to meet with industry professionals.  Katherine was involved in the Filmmaker Initiative, and she and a small group of people were brought together to shoot, edit, and submit a film for competition in only 7 days.  The resulting film won a number of awards at Cannes.  Learn more about the Creative Mind Group at http://www.thecreativemindgroup.com/
