NOTE PLEASE – Due to spring break scheduling conflicts, here are some dates that you should be aware of.

The 100ft film test for round 2 projects can roll on March 14th or 15th if you like. Then we are into Spring Break so the drop for the Lab can occur the next week during spring break ( this is optional and up to you ) or you can Drop off your test on March 23rd by 8:30pm. It looks like the 14th & 15th are the only days that are not during Spring Break with regard to the test. We cannot ask you to do any work over the Break, but if you want to shoot during the break it’s up to you. ALL TEST ROLLS MUST BE IN BY
