I would like to really get to know each student, in order to customize a program just for them.  Every actor is different. They have very distinct talents and gifts.

Acting: I have always been an "actor's director" on set.  My passion has always been to get the best performance possible from the actor, but also to impart the revelation and process of story-telling, through powerful acting.

Scriptwriting: After receiving my MFA in Scriptwriting, my love for teaching has expanded to teaching to those who have a desire to learn the craft. 

Acting: In class and on set, I have worked with novices to very experienced actors who already have professional acting careers established.

Scriptwriting: I have worked with students as young as high school age. 

Our first film, THE BASEMENT, was particularly gratifying, in that most of the people involved were novices.  The performances from these people was greater than we ever expected.  Some went on to win acting awards, and have gone on to professional acting careers.

You get what you put into anything you do.  Keep the passion going by study, consistency, and discipline.  Rejection is a part of being an actor and a scriptwriter.  Don't give up, and continue to sharpen the gift that has been given to you.

The first question is to ask yourself; "why do you want to be actor or a scriptwriter?"

The answer to this question will give you some insight in what you expect from your instructor/coach.
