What was the best part of your experience as my student?
How you let us be us and say what we wanted to say. Your encouragement.

I had imposter syndrome until I met you. Understanding that going into the second act we had to be in a new world.

Being your student was great for me because you are truly passionate about the subject of film. Your teaching style is patient and kind, but you thoroughly ensure that each student uses critical thinking skills to reshape their understanding of storytelling and cinema.  Beyond that, I've always admired your high standards and commitment to preparing writers for the demands of a career in the entertainment industry. But the best part of my experience as your student was learning from you.  You are amazing!

I'd say the true value in your courses are this:

It is an opportunity for anyone with an interest in visual storytelling to dive into the art from a whole new perspective.  Since it is under the guidance of a seasoned filmmaker whose emphasis on fostering  a deep understanding of style stands out in a way that other courses simply can't match.

incredible! Where should I begin? Learning to SEE. Show don't tell. What is the theme??? The screenplays and movies we got to know. The clips you showed. Your knowledge and teaching style. You are exceptional. They should clone you.
