European Traveling Fellowship

This sounds like a great opportunity and a lot of fun. I do not have a high enough GPA at the moment but maybe next time I will. Germany is where I would choose, due to the independent animation scene there. Germany remains one of the largest audiovisual markets, with a very high portion of independent distributors. German animation has always produced innovation, Emile Cohl, J. Stuart Blackton, Oskar Fischinger, with an emphasis on abstract imagery and a distinct German flavor. Although their influence has made it to America, it is not very prominent in the U.S. film scene. Due to the high amount of independent films, there is a wide range of ideas and innovations that circulate the industry. Because of this, I am very interested in delving in firsthand.
