"We believe that Cleaning Woman at Midnight." and Steve low budget productions.' · Some students. however. have actually broken into the industry by working with greats of the Industry. For instance, Linda Shamest Is now working as an assistant editor to Woody Allen in New York, while Lisa Gottlieb is busy right now working on a film project In Los Angles, according to Chap Freeman. Steve Elkins and Milo Jelesievltch are in New York working on different projects. In order to facilitate getting Into the film industry, Columbia helps lay the founda· lion by providing working seed money to the outstanding students. "Although our resources are limited, we are committed to helping our most talented and disci plined students underwrite their rinal pro ject," says Loeb. Besides the Schools Pro duction Fund. Columbia also offers film students use of sophisticated equipment • and machinery. " What can make the difference in break ing into the film establishment is having a reel of film to show when you leave here." says Loeb. "We attempt to teach the craft involved in that process." Team work is perhaps the key elem ent behind the success of the film department. Loeb is surrounded by faculty such as Michael Rabiger. a former editor/ director with the British Broadcasting Corpora tion: Jack Whitehead. who worked with Hitchcock for many years: Freeman. faculty advisor to Gottlieb: James Martin. who has completed his first feature rilm : lJan D incllo. who was a professor at the University of Wisconsin before coming to Columbia. The Jist goes on to include part lime in structors such as Dick Girvin. president of Zenith/ DB Studios: George E astman. an animation specialist : Bob Neches. an editor: and David Morenz. a capable cmematogr apher. Another way of getting into the film in dustry is the internal screening competi tion done among students. Tech I and II screening at the school's Ferguson Hall on ~·ebruary 20 drew many students.
