Carries Interview

It was a pleasant meeting with Carrie. She looked over the resume and gave me a few tips on how to expand on my skills when approached personally. She also mentioned that the different kinds of experience should be separated just so an employer could find what they're looking for. She suggested that the film I made, The Hunt for Cupid should have more unpacking in terms of which festivals I've submitted it to etc.
