Extend the writing below:
Tells a story about family/father influences and education in business and value:
-I was born in a business family, when I was little, my father always so busy and he barely spend time with me. One time I asked him to play with me, and I questioned him ” why you are always so busy?” he told me the story that he is not only raising our family but also raising hundreds of his employee’s families. Because he has responsibility for them, he creates value not only for himself but for the whole community. This makes a remarkable lesson in my life. (Story about making values)
I want to know how to find true value in the contemporary entertainment film industry, where I see the true value or undervalued opportunities. (Balance of art and commerce)
– during my past internship experience, most of my colleague are male, in this patriarchic industry, I want to hear female voices.
-How to find, pursue, and create value?
– create jobs for Asian/minority groups (lack of Asian American film cast and crew members)
-tells a great story about a minority(objective characters, not racist stereotypes of the culture in the mainstream film industry)
How attending Stark will help you identify and pursue the true value in your career. (Look at the program value and relate to the personal story)
-By learning as a producer how do I use filmmaking to make value? what story do I want to tell? what kind of team do I want to lead?
