Teacher expertise and credentials
Throughout my career in film and television, I’ve always found immense satisfaction in sharing my experiences with younger generations. Starting in 2013, I began presenting to students at Pinecrest Schools in Southern California, breaking down the intricate world of filmmaking. These presentations quickly evolved into a comprehensive exploration of various departments, from cinematography to visual effects.

Inspired by the students’ enthusiasm, I continued these demonstrations at St. Jude School, Oaks Christian High School and Cal Luthern University, igniting curiosity and sparking dreams. By showcasing the diverse roles within the industry, I aim to empower students to envision themselves as future filmmakers, writers, directors, or artists.

I’ve had the privilege of presenting to a wide range of age groups, from elementary school through high school, as well as participating in masterclasses at prestigious events like Animayo and WonderCon. The joy of witnessing young minds engage with the creative process is truly rewarding.

To further this mission, I’ve developed a comprehensive curriculum, “The Process of Visual Arts.” This program delves into the intricacies of filmmaking, from on-set production to post-production. Through behind-the-scenes insights and practical demonstrations, I strive to inspire students to explore their own creative potential and pursue their passions in the world of film and television.

INTRODUCTION:

Hello!  My name is Eli Jarra.
My job often brings many challenges and rewards when working in Film & Television.  It's something I've been doing for a long time and something I find very rewarding.  As people would inquire into what I did for a living, I found they were intrigued by hearing about the behind-the-scenes of some of their favorite movies or TV shows.

A few years ago, in 2013-2017 I started speaking about some of these experiences to the kids at Pinecrest Schools here in southern California.  The presentations quickly evolved into more elaborate breakdowns of the various departments. 
Kids found this not only compelling but extremely inspiring as well.  Since then, I continue enriching students with the process of what it takes to get a movie to the big screen.

I encourage students to keep an open mind about what they’re learning in regards to the importance of teamwork and professionalism on-set.  By breaking down and simplifying the process, my goals are to give them the confidence and courage they need to implement some of this new information into their own creations.   I plant a seed of curiosity where they can imagine themselves as a writer or director, or perhaps a cinematographer filming on camera or setting up lights, maybe seeing themselves building something special in the art department.   
I try and cover the many different roles on set and well as in post-production where I discuss editorial and sound, color and visual effects.  These are the departments that are instrumental to completing the project once production has wrapped.  
At present, I speak to a variety of age groups, starting from 4th grade all the way to high school.  I have also done a master class with the Animayo animation festival and WonderConn.

I find presenting and teaching to these young minds quite rewarding, sometimes even more so than the actual movie work itself!    
That’s why I created the class “The Process of Visual Arts”.
