The best strategy for longevity in filmmaking is to obtain both a solid film education AND a wealth of experiences in today’s multi-media. To learn the “mother tongue” of the FEATURE FILM NARRATIVE is to facilitate success in the other vocabularies of advertising, documentaries, music videos, corporate videos, educational videos, and television productions. Every filmmaker should aspire to be exhibited in as many venues as possible, from cinemaplexes like the SM Theaters, to the YOUTUBE.
