A junior at Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Adam Faze,16, decided in October to organize a film festival. "I want to go to a film school and work in the industry, but Loyola has nothing like that, which is strange because we're right here in LA (a part of the city is Hollywood where films are made)," he said." So instead of sitting around and feeling unhappy, I decided to do something."
The school was unenthusiastic. "Every year, students approach me with many projects that are really difficult to carry out," said Lance Ochsner, Adam's adviser. "I thought it wouldn't happen, but I gave him the go—ahead anyway."
Adam sent letters and made cold calls, and got no response. By January, he had little more than a single participant: Jordan Roberts, the father of a friend and a writer—director. (Mr. Roberts had' agreed to serve as a festival judge.)
Then Adam looked through a catalog for Loyola's annual money—raising event and noticed that someone had donated two tickets to a Sony movie premiere (the first public performance of a movie). That person turned out to be an Oscar campaigner. By working the connection, he managed to line up a festival speaker: Michael De Luca, a three—time Oscar nominee (someone who has been officially suggested for the prize of Oscar) for producing films like "The Social Network"
"Adam's energy, enthusiasm and fearlessness are influential," Mr. De Luca wrote in an email. "I wish I had done this at my high school!" Adam got a local newspaper 'to write an article about Mr. De Luca's involvement(参与), and that started a sponsorship and submission (费助和作品提交) wildfire.
The Loyola Film Festival is set for Saturday and advertised as "the best in student filmmaking". It will feature 72 films in four categories.
But Adam is already focused on his next plan. In an email to a reporter, he wrote, "Could you mention that I'm still looking for a summer internship(实习)?"
What should you do when your parents are embarrassing you in front of your friends? Or what if you see what looks like a classmate stealing someone else's headphones? In our social Q's column the teenager Harper Ediger and the adult Philip Glances give their best advice to kids looking for help. Now it's your turn: Do you have a question about an uncomfortable social situation at school, at home, on social media or among friends? Email it to us at Kjdsqs@njpost.com and Harper and Philip may answer it in a future issue. Please include your age and hometown. Come on, we know you have one.
To inspire you, here are reader—submitted questions we've published in previous issues:
My mom signs me up for camps and activities without asking what I want to do. I only learn what I'm doing at the last minute. I don't like that it's a surprise, and I feel that I should be able to help plan my time. How can I have more of a say?
At my school, fourth graders need to learn different dances, then dress up for a fancy party where we ask partners to dance with us. This makes me nervous, and I'm not looking forward to it. How should I handle this situation?
My sister is home for college break, and lucky me, she's my roommate. As I'm 12 and she's almost 19, we both want our own space. I know she doesn't mean it personally, but she always complains that she doesn't have a home, which makes me feel as if I'm breaking into my own room. Do I tell her how I feel or let it go?
Did you know that more than 40 percent of all deadly car accidents occur at night? A recent breakthrough eyeglass technology has made it safe to drive at night. I's almost like having "X-ray" eyesight while driving.
Spend money on your safety and peace of mind behind the wheel with a pair of these cutting-edge night driving glasses. Most car accidents that occur at night are mostly the result of poor visibility. Even with 60% less traffic on the road at night, accidents still happen due to blinding light and just overall bad driving visibility.
Imagine being able to clearly see what's in front of you and what's approaching, even if it's very dark and foggy. Once you start wearing ClearView night glasses, you'll feel much more confident and safe driving when it's getting dark. With ClearView you will notice an instant reduction in strong light from oncoming traffic and bright street lights.
This is because the special yellow lens tint(镜片色彩) can block strong blue light, and increase contrast( 对比). ClearView passes the global traffic light standard for safer sharper vision at night with flying colors.
You can start using ClearView at once even if you wear glasses. Simply place ClearView on top of your glasses and be amazed by the difference this technology makes!
Is it worth it? Absolutely! Keep a pair in each of your cars to make sure you have your glasses at hand when night comes If you care about your family's safety then this is a no-brainer.
Trying to find common topics with someone you've never met before and may never meet again, is certainly awkward. Like it or not, your future holds many conversations with strangers that must start somewhere. Usually, they begin with small talk..
An icebreaker that works in every situation
There's one icebreaker question that'll work every single time: Tell me about yourself. The four words are much more effective than the question "So what do you do?" because you don't make any assumptions (假设) about the other person.. It allows you to start a conversation without the fear that you're going to make someone uncomfortable. Raising a broad question lets people lead you to who they are.
Stay curious
, your next move is equally important. You have to really listen to how the other person responds and care what they have to say. Talk about what they're interested in. Build on it. Ask them more questions about that thing.. You need to hear what the other person has to say. Bringing enthusiasm to the conversation will go a long way.
How to exit gracefully
Sometimes you just run out of things to talk about. One last trick for you. Be honest. Say you've got to go to the bar, to the bathroom, to say hello to your friend across the room. Then go.. But do you really want to be stuck talking to someone when you have nothing to talk about? Abandoning one bad conversation frees you up to start another with someone new. It starts with, "So Bob, tell me about yourself."
A. Sure, it might feel rude
B. Here's how to do small talk right
C. Don't quickly exit the conversation
D. After you get past the breaking of ice
E. Even if he's excited about a certain topic
F. A good conversation depends heavily on curiosity
G. The four words are more likely to lead to a truly interesting conversation

Henri Matisse grew up in the northern part of France. In 1889, Matisse became ill, his mother got him some art supplies for something to do. He (immediate) fell in love with painting and decided to become an artist.
Matisse began to explore painting. His mother encouraged him not to follow the normal rules of art, but (try) out new things and to paint his emotions. In 1897, Matisse met (paint) John Peter Russell. Russell introduced him to the work of Van Gogh and it opened up new world to Matisse. In this year, this gifted man painted his first masterpiece (call) The Dinner Table.
In the early 1990s, Matisse developed a new style. He began to paint in bright masses of colors. In 1905 Matisse, together fellow artists Maurice de Vlaminck and Andre Derain, exhibited (they) new style to the world. They were called "fauves", which meant "wild beasts". The paintings expressed emotion with wild, often dissonant(不和谐) colors, without regard for the subject's (nature) colors.
Matisse (consider) one of the leading figures of modern art as his paintings and art influenced many artists throughout the 20th century

I am a student of the Foreign Language School. After the second classes every Friday afternoon, we were used to have time to see an English film. We all took interested in seeing English films. And from this term, it seems that we are having more and more classes in the afternoon. It is impossible for us see English films regular. What is more, we had less time for rest and sports. Which worries us is that it will do harm to our health as well as our study. Would you please give them some support to stop this? Looking forward to hear from you soon.
