Real World: Hopkins?

Want to be in a documentary? Seniors Jeff Novich (Jeff Makes A Movie, The Big Shit) and Sharon Braune are looking to shoot a documentary on college life at Hopkins from the perspective of graduating seniors. What did you think of your freshman year roommate? How did you meet your best friends? What was your best hookup? Novich and Braune want funny, interesting and entertaining stories about your life here at Hopkins. Anyone is welcome to tell his or her story and you can give us as much or as little time as you want. Novich and Braune anticipate having 40 to 50 students profiled in an hour-long documentary.

"We're not looking for anything specific; this isn't for admissions. We're just looking for people to be animated on camera," Novich and Braune say. "Nothing is set in stone ? this is as informal as it gets. You can do the interview over a beer, you can curse, you can wear whatever you want. Think of cool places you'd like your interview to be filmed. If you have a story about E-level or the roof of Bloomberg, we can shoot it there."

The following is a list of suggested questions that they hope will serve as a guideline. If you're interested in participating in the documentary, please answer a few of these questions ? or question's you've made up on your own ? with brief, one-sentence responses to help Novich and Braune plan more effective interview sessions.
