HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- In a twist on overseas study programs, film students at Boston University spent a semester learning the language and customs of Hollywood.
The New England university sends a handful of its cinematic scholars to Los Angeles where they spend a semester living in a Fairfax-district apartment house and spend more than three months taking part in internships that culminate with a "pitch festival," in which they try to convince genuine studio types that their ideas will work on the silver screen.
"You have to get used to the people and the mentality out here," student Nicole Adams told the Los Angeles Times. "I love it and then I hate it."
Despite Boston's tony reputation for culture and the arts, the Times noted a number of the projects were of the horror and science fiction genres that were in some instances seen by the Hollywood industry types as needing to be toned down a little.
