Movies & Chill by Monique - September 2019 Scholarship Essay

Movies & Chill a club that reviews original Netflix movies and tries to produce their own mini version every other month. I think it’s not only a great way to socialize with other peers, but also allows students to learn about the filmmaking process. I’ve created a few short films before in a Video Communications class and there was no greater joy then getting to see our film being watched by others. It wouldn’t be hard to have a Youtube Channel like Movies & Chill (insert your High School here). From there they could have officer positions within the clubs film crew which rotate every film or quarter or however they wish to divide it. For instance, on one film there's a designated director, assistant director, videographer, and so on.

In the event that this idea gains enough traction maybe Netflix could have a contest where Movies & Chill clubs across the nation would submit their own videos. Then the winning or even runner-ups movies would win a feature on their site. It could even extend to the point where there are different categories like the best Movies & Chill in drama or comedy. Maybe they use one of their ideas to actually create a full-fledged movie which would be awesome for all parties involved. It’s completely possible with the number of published works like Wattpad stories that later turn into movies.
