As the students are required to work during office hours throughout the program, Fahim commented that it “felt like a strenuous, boring and lifeless routine after a few weeks.”

This, however, is not enough to dampen the hopes of the aspiring producer to work in the media

“It is an honour to be part of this project, especially since it’s our Jubilee year. I feel like this is the best way I can contribute to the nation so far,” he said.

“Moreover, we are working with external companies to produce the video contents so this made me feel more responsible and it helped me realize my untapped potential.”

From his experience, Fahim has left us with some seemingly simple yet very crucial advices for the juniors who intend on going on the same path as him.

He started with emphasizing on how important it is to arrive on time. Not only does it show a lot about your character and work ethics, it is also essential in completing the task in hand.

At the beginning of TEP, students being too shy to approach people and trying out the foreign equipment were a common sight.

However, Fahim tells his juniors to not let the fear of embarrassment stop them, as ultimately; it is all a learning experience and an important building block of their

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).…

    Throughout the course of this semester, taking TCF 201 has taught me about, even though I come to the conclusion that going in this direction of actually being a filmmaker is not for me, in the end.

But it was all worth it.…
