I have been teaching film and video production as a university/college professor (grad and undergrad level) for the last 8 years and I have been a consultant in filmmaking for the last 15 years. I have mentored emerging and experienced filmmakers (young and old) at all stages of the production cycle. Films that have been mentored by me have been broadcast on television, participated successfully in film festivals, won awards and have secured distribution.

Filmmaking is like speaking a langua...
