A FRIENDLY TURN just online!

What would you do for your old friends? Find out by watching my latest Cine practicum, shot at Burbank Studios over three days with a very talented group of aspiring Cinematographers.

Thanks to all participants – this was a fun one.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Please enjoy this fun scene I shot with yet another great group of cinematography students at the New York Film Academy.

This is truly an anniversary as it marks the 20th practicum I’ve written and directed over the past years with Cine students at the New York Film Academy. Respect for all the hard work of the students and thank you to the NYFA Cinematography department for this unique approach to practical learning and preparing our students for the real world.
