While not technically a freshman, Alexandra Pullen has just begun pursuing her education at Brooklyn College in order to complete her major in film production.

As recently as last semester, this Pennsylvania native was enrolled in an interdisciplinary program that combined psychology, dance and film at the University of Maryland.

“I wanted a more hands-on program, one where I had the chance to experience all the aspects of making a movie,” she says about her move from Maryland’s College Park campus to Brooklyn’s Bedford Ave.

Once she decided to transfer, Alexandra looked to the northeast and applied to and was accepted at several New York area institutions. But at Brooklyn College she was received with the kind of counseling she was looking for in her interview, and that clinched the deal.

“I knew New York was the place to be, but film production was not as big at the other schools as it is at Brooklyn College, “Alexandra recalled. “That’s what sold me,” adds the 19-year-old, would-be filmmaker.

“This town offers the kind of intellectual and artistic atmosphere and stimuli I was looking for/”

Despite some initial difficulties in getting accepted into the film production program, she has found that people at the College have helped her in the transition. “I’m glad I persisted. There are so many great professors.”

In addition to her CORE course work, she is now also taking a screen writing class where they are studying Spike Lee’s movies.

“I didn’t know much about him, I have to admit. But this is a great opportunity to learn about his work. And I’m enjoying it.”

A devotee of ballet, jazz, hip hop and modern dance since age three, and later as a choreographer, Alexandra hopes to combine her love for dancing with filmmaking, and intends on putting her various passions in play together from now until graduation.

“I’ve realized, for example, that casting is another aspect of film production I’d like to learn more about,” she says.

“But right now I have to write a 7- to 12-minute script for a short that I will have to produce next semester.” And that is no kids’ play.
