explorations to follow."

"Mark Travis is the only
practical teacher of directing I've ever met -- and simply the best. I learned more from him than I did in four years of film school!"

"They said the things I always wanted to hear as an actress, and taught me things
I needed to know to be a director."
Brad Gann, Writer, Static; Writer/Director, Black Irish
"I made the common mistake of thinking that I
knew my own script simply because I wrote it. Working with Fred and Mark forces you to go much deeper than the simple text on the page ... Without this sort of work, you're winging it
without even knowing it." |
