In the last session of a filmmaking workshop, my instructor encouraged me to organize a film festival. I was shocked by the maverick suggestion at first, but soon began to seriously consider the possibility.
In March, I recruited several like-minded students and founded the festival board. To my dismay, the school administration would not lend any support, so I had to exercise growth hacker skills on social media. I painstakingly created a flash mob video: random people, one after another, would put what they truly wanted to tell the world on signs. The daring attempt soon caught the attention of fun-loving teens in my hometown. To keep the momentum going, I drafted dozens of posts on communication principles and cinematography for our landing page to build a fanbase. To achieve optimal results, I studied social media statistics and related my content to current events. In the meantime, I reached out to media/film clubs in other schools, asking whether they wanted to be a part of the campaign and had stories to share on the big screen. Within a few weeks, more than 300 eager teens applied to our board!
To lead such a team turned out to be a bigger challenge. As I pushed myself to undertake the ever-increasing workload, I finally had a high fever. Complaints about my micromanagement made me feel even worse. Having a change of heart, after my recovery I immediately held an online brainstorm where everyone decided the future roadmap. Relying on my directors to share the burden, I turned to the most pressing matter, funding.
Drawing on the idea of social entrepreneurship, the team planned a series of themed workshops to cover the cost of the festival. Our survey showed that “smartphone photography” was a popular choice, and we hit the jackpot as an internationally acclaimed photographer accepted the invitation from one of our directors. The reputation of our host attracted hundreds of participants to the trial course, “Smartphone Photo-editing for WeChat Friend Circle.” Based on the firsthand feedback, we finetuned the topics of follow-up workshops. With an average enrollment of 100, we made around 85,000 yuan by the end of August.
Our film festival screened over 50 short films in the conference center of the local Grand Hyatt. As I cut the cake of celebration, I affirmed my ambition to be a better leader in the field of communication.
留学文书译文（机翻）：
在电影制作工作坊的最后一节课上，我的导师鼓励我组织一个电影节。起初我对特立独行的建议感到震惊，但很快就开始认真考虑这种可能性。
3月，我招募了几个志同道合的学生，并成立了节日委员会。令我沮丧的是，学校管理部门没有提供任何支持，所以我不得不在社交媒体上练习成长黑客技能。我煞费苦心地制作了一段闪电暴徒视频：随机的人一个接一个地把他们真正想告诉世界的东西放在标牌上。这个大胆的尝试很快引起了我家乡爱好娱乐的青少年的注意。为Fani起草了几十篇关于电影摄影的文章，为Fani的传播奠定基础。为了达到最佳效果，我研究了社交媒体统计数据，并将我的内容与时事相关。与此同时，我联系了其他学校的媒体/电影俱乐部，询问他们是否想参与这场运动，并在大屏幕上分享故事。在几周内，超过300名热心的青少年向我们的董事会提出了申请！
领导这样一个团队原来是一个更大的挑战。当我强迫自己承担不断增加的工作量时，我终于发高烧了。对我微观管理的抱怨让我感觉更糟。我改变了主意，在我康复后，我立即在网上举行了一次头脑风暴，每个人都决定了未来的路线图。依靠我的董事们分担负担，我转向了最紧迫的问题，资金。
基于社会创业的理念，该团队计划举办一系列主题研讨会，以支付节日费用。我们接受了一项广受欢迎的调查，结果显示，我们的一位摄影师的邀请“在国际上广受欢迎”。我们主持人的声誉吸引了数百名参与者参加了“微信朋友圈智能手机照片编辑”的试验课程根据第一手反馈，我们对后续研讨会的主题进行了微调。我们的平均招生人数为100人，到8月底，我们的收入约为8.5万元。
我们的电影节在当地君悦酒店的会议中心放映了50多部短片。当我切蛋糕庆祝时，我确认了我的雄心壮志，那就是成为传播领域更好的领导者。

AADPS老师文书点评：围绕个人经历的文书，切忌写成没有重心的流水账。需要营造矛盾冲突以及利用各方资源设法解决困难，也需要列出数据和成果增加可信度。推荐信能从侧面印证支撑就再好不过了。
家长感言：没有想到孩子能ED进这个层次的学校，老师的经验功不可没。太给力了！
