There once was a bloke from Ukiah,

Who had something he wanted to try. A

lover of film

but lacker of skill

He grew up and left for UCI (uh).

An anteater: he studied the movies

With a friend of his name Cody

they made some short flicks

Some neat camera tricks

And were plagued by the nickname ”Scrody”

Armed now with a BA degree

Scott returned to his home city

8 years went by

Grad school sounded fly

And office life is so shitty

He flew off to VCFA

For a masters, more debt, and yay

a few dope classes

then they’re thrown on asses

For the first year was twentaytwentay

But still he struggled on through

Low residencies held over Zoom

Making his thesis was great

as the teens say it ate

Now this was all he wanted to do

In all of this the best part is

Community and friends. At the heart is

(quick, the end of this story;

Just the start, don’t you worry)

The impetus of this group Hardly Artists.
