How to Win an Oscar After Accidentally Walking Through a Student Short Film

Let’s face it: we’ve all been there. You’re dragging your feet back to your freshman dorm after a particularly rough 8am Spanish 102 lecture. Your shoulders are unnaturally hunched over. Your eyes are half-closed.

Then: BAM! Before you know it, you’re walking straight through the background of an expertly crafted, sublimely dramatic student film that probably doesn’t have a permit to be shooting by the volleyball court.

Your first thought may be to run away, but fret not! Your SAG card isn’t too far in the future. All you have to do is leverage your success.

“The kid arguing with his mom on the phone in the background of that one FTV 130 short was… well, me!” proudly declares Oscar winner: [Y/N].

So, next time you accidentally wander into a shot, don’t be afraid to stare that camera right down the lens. Maybe shoot over a wink. The future is in your hands.
