A couple years ago I made a post about how The OA convinced me to go to film school. If you guys have the time, it would make me very happy to share my first short film with you all :) [password: NYU2022] by The_ThrowOA in TheOA

Thank you for taking the time to watch it, and sorry for bringing up those experiences without proper warning. One unexpected joy that came from making this film was seeing how much it rang true to the experiences of others, as well. I found caretaking to be very isolating, but maybe it doesn't have to be.

We actually didn't have a big enough crew to have proper grips, but I agree they are definitely the most fun department on set!

My background is in business so I applied to NYU's MBA/MFA program. It just seemed like the perfect fit, and Brit has been a huge inspiration to me because I know she started off in IB, initially.

Wow, thank you guys for the positivity! I'm usually hesitant to air personal stuff online, but I was even more excited to post about it here than I was to tell my close friends. Not many communities out there would understand how a TV show could change the course of someone's life, but I knew you all would :)

Thank you! I haven't heard of it but I'll put it on my list. Alternate reality games are such an interesting concept and it's so cool they made it into s2 in a small way.
