It’s really nice to learn with people who are so different but come here with the same passion for film. I think everyone has such different creative energies and ideas which makes for a great environment to be in. One minute the class is thinking about 1770s France, the next minute it’s a comic book character, and then we’re talking about the adoption story that I came up with.
