I teach a well-received live version of this class and want to make it available as a Flex Class. I studied film and cinematography in high school, made several short films for those classes, and edit videos as part of my professional freelancing. I'm a film lover who watches movies across all eras and from around the world. I’m excited to explore the magic of filmmaking with you!
