SMARTS 2011 Bio

Alright, it's been a while since I last utilized Blogspot, not sure why, it's a pretty up-to-date blogging system... if your computer still dials into the internet!

Just a few minutes ago, a colleague of mine made me aware of how awesome my bio for SMARTS 2011 was and while I agreed, I felt that it would only be fair if I shared the previously unreleased, raw and uncut version with the world. Enjoy!

Champion of the Universe and staple of the SMARTS Film/Video program since 2005, Preston Masterson has been working hard to expand the multimedia experience of SMARTS students everywhere since he first set foot in Brennan Middle School six years ago as a student himself. Utilizing a unique, caffeine-infused teaching method, Preston introduces students to not only the films themselves, but the popular culture surrounding them and their production, both past and present, in hopes to mould the ultimate filmmakers of the future. When he's not busy conducting his summer film sermons, Preston does freelance promotional design for various companies and rock 'n' roll bands in the New England area, as well as assistant direction for the Emmy nominated Midway Pictures' upcoming feature length documentary, What We Hate: The Story of Screeching Weasel, and plays bass for local rockabilly legends, The Heatsticks. While his title may only be 'film assistant', what Preston really wants to teach this summer is an important life lesson; that in art, you set your own standards, live by your own rules, and that practice doesn't make perfect, Preston does.

Wasn't that terrific? Don't you feel touched?
