As a qualified and respected film and screenwriting lecturer who taught at an international film school, I prioritised my student’s education and collected a mountain of feedback forms. My goal is simple, I want my students to learn beyond the rigidity of traditional film schools and ENJOY the freedom of self-actualization.

I have other film currency too and have helped many private clients garner success with filming assignments via our business, Gothic Zen® Studios, plus worked with community art groups to share the love of creative expression.
