1990 - Media Arts

Jaime Skinner

What I'm doing now: I am a struggling actor in NYC and loving every minute of it.
 
Comments: NYSSSA changed my life. Before that summer, I was very shy and I  thought I was wierd because I was different. That summer gave me a new found courage and self assurance that has always stayed  with me.

What I'm doing now: Besides my 9 to 5 gig as a Senior Art Director for 4 trade magazines, I have a budding freelance illustration career.

Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my all-too-brief stint at SUNY Buffalo that fateful summer. I was enriched beyond comprehension. This was much funnier before I learned I only had 255 characters

What I'm doing now: I am President of the Rochester International Film Festival and am in post-production on my second feature-length digital motion picture

Comments: NYSSSA gave me my first opportunity to meet other filmmakers and film buffs my age, and exposed me not only to a variety of foreign, independent and avant-garde films but also to the larger world of art in general.
