Interview questions

Interviews

Akins Documentary--

Secondary- Katherine Obando, Ashley Figueroa--

How has beginning this project changed your perspective on the school?
“I came into the project thinking greatly of Akins and still believe it is.”

What has been your biggest reasoning for taking a part of filming this documentary?
“ Whenever I get asked what school I attend, I get the same negative response from outsiders. They believe Akins is a “bad school” and I want to show them wrong.”
“ I want to change the negative perspective to positive.”

Is the film angled at an educational or entertainment view?
“Both. Educational because it is informing the student body. It highlights what is already at Akins. Entertainment because it is through a students point of view. Visual interpretation rather than text.”

Overall message?
“We are Akins…the real Akins.”


“To highlight Akins positive points.”
“Akins is a great school and should be recognized for it.”

Final

Born and raised in New York, owner and chef Jey Vitta made his way down to Austin in hopes of starting his own business. With only an idea and family recipes, Vitta launched into the industrial world, and after only Nine months of construction, Bambinos was born.
The dimly lit restaurant, romantic jazz and trendy location accommodate all age groups. At this mafia-themed Italian Deli, it is hard not to feel like part of a crime scene. Decorated with mug shots of John Dillinger, Al Capone and a life-like mannequin of mobster Frankie Four Fingers, Bambinos keeps true to its era of rebellion and Prohibition.
The menu consists of eight sandwiches, all of which come with a typical variation of meats and cheeses and your choice of either a wheat or white roll. Although the delicious sandwiches and signature Sammy Spread are all incredible, the main focus is on the house specialty, The Godfather. Known as the sandwich that “can't be refused,” The Godfather's mix of smoked ham, turkey, hard salami, pepperoni, pepperoncinis and all the veggies anyone could want are truly to die for.
Besides the tasty sandwiches, Bambinos' friendly and attentive crew makes the visit a more enjoyable one. The fast paced service and reasonably low prices of anything from five to seven dollars finish the perfect meal.
Coming soon to Bambinos’ is the upstairs deck that will be used for live music and events. Vitta’s hope of creating an entertaining and glitzy restaurant, styled after the 1920’s, has been fulfilled. Bambinos’ irresistible New York-like charm and jazzy environment is definitely worth checking out.
