ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

"As a Film Director I love tell a good story and create the best film possible into a good working environment. That means everyone on set is comfortable and having a good time, stress is kept to a minimum (as much as it can be), and both cast and crew trust me and my judgement (while at the same time feeling like they can make suggestions to me and that I’ll seriously consider what they say).

I figure that if the working environment is good, people are going to put more effort into their work, and the end result will be a lot better. Of course, this starts in pre-production, making sure that the people you hire are going to be easy to work with. Talent is important, but I don’t care how talented someone is, if they’re impossible to work with, they’re not worth it.

So, let’s get creative!" - Andres Di Bono
