My Classes

I make documentaries, and I help my film students make theirs. We talk about the importance of story and developing a special relationship with the people that story is about. We talk about notions of the truth and how to best express truth through creative expression.

My classes are informal and I approach students holistically. I want to help my students become better citizens of this planet and find ways to tell their stories in a meaningful way.

I enjoy the research part of the process and try to lead my students to original sources. I help them understand copyright rules and respect for other artists and their original work.

Technology can be intimidating, especially if you don't have a lot of money. I try to demystify the production process and lead by example in finding the most resourceful way to solve a problem. Girls, get ready, because I'm going to put the camera in your hands.
