FACILITATOR/ PRESENTER/ JURY MEMBER

 

I often think filmmaking is like a trade: you can only hone your skills through experience and over time, and with the support of many mentors all along the way.  It is critical to share what we know with each other.  I do so as a presenter, a facilitator, on panels and on juries.
