And that’s a wrap!

For the last three weeks I have had the honor of working with the Woodstock Film Festival Youth Film Lab in Kingston, NY, under program director (and colleague) Megan Sperry. A group of exciting young creatives worked tirelessly to produce three original short films, which were screened last night at the Center for Creative Education in Kingston, and will have their formal premieres at the Woodstock Film Festival this October.

It was a pleasure and privilege to work alongside filmmakers Nicole Quinn and David Becker, and with TA’s Zach Bell, Jessica Peeters, and Sadie.

The guest mentors provided (in Sperry’s words) “master classes,” in all aspects of filmmaking. Guest Mentors included Oscar winners Melissa Leo, and Roger Ross Williams, filmmakers Alex Smith and Janet Grillo, editor Sabine Hoffman, audio guru Carl Welden, grip Greg Meola, set photographer/ production manager Jacob Hutching, and more!

Such an amazing three weeks! Some photos provided by Megan Sperry and the Woodstock Film Festival Facebook page. Keep an eye out for these young people as they establish themselves in the industry. Thank you Meira Blaustein (WFF Executive Director) for inviting me to participate!
