Sophomore Rachel Napoliello: Why Tufts?

Decent Essays
Sophomore Rachel Napoliello is a chemistry major from the greatest state of all: New Jersey. Embarrassingly enough, there is a strong possibility that she chose to apply to Tufts so she could join TUTV (look at her “Why Tufts?” essay for evidence). Rachel has been interested in filmmaking ever since she discovered the magic of iMovie many years ago. Some early examples of her work include The Thrill of Thursday, a charming story about her sister who is turned into a dog, and Trial by Blood, which if you ask her about will result in a long and unprompted rant (please ask her about it). She has since been introduced to Premiere Pro and has worked as a PA on the set of Legend, director during Horror Fest, costume designer and props manager

However, it did teach me a great deal. I never knew how much work could go into producing and directing your own work, I mean I had a general idea, but nothing to this magnitude of the amount of work that it takes, plus the hours of sleep that I have lost took a toll on me as well. But it was all worth it.…

    Over the summer, I went through a life changing experience that challenged how I looked at film and lead me to the conclusion that I was going to be a filmmaker. This life changing experience was the Emerson Pre-College program. I came to the program with the goal to learn about film and figure out what I wanted to do in college. The program taught me how to do everything: create a shot list, set up different shots, film, edit, and how to be not just a good storyteller but to be cinematic. I grew as a filmmaker significantly during this period and became inspired to pursue a career in film.…

    Before this informational interview, I could never comfortably admit to myself that I wanted to work in the film industry. It seemed so distant and unattainable, and, according to my engineer parents, impractical. Nevertheless, I have always loved storytelling and the arts, so when it was time for us to choose our “dream internship” for this course, I spent approximately one minute browsing HireSmith before decisively heading over to my favorite company’s career website. Like almost every other human who has ever seen a Pixar animated feature, I originally loved Pixar for its indisputably incredible films.…
