I began teaching with the Georgia Film Academy just this year, and already my first students are graduating! I am excited to announce that, as the program continues to grow, I will be moving from an adjunct to a full-time position as instructor.

The 18 credit hour certification program focuses on job training and placement in the film industry, and I am very proud of the success of my students.  Here's just a few of the recent jobs they are working:

Wardrobe Assistant on The Walking Dead
Set PA on The Walking Dead
Special Effects Prop-maker on a Marvel film
Camera Assistant on Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell
Set Dresser on Underground
Set Dresser on MacGyver
Grip on Moon Shine Still
Sales and Rentals for Manhattan Beach Studios
Camera Technician for Cineverse/VER Camera Rentals
And much more!

Congratulations to all the recent graduates!

The GFA partners with major studio productions, network television series, independent films and local support facilities to provide internships to students, often leading to paid positions and union membership.

One of the highlights, for me, is that I do not simply teach, but because of GFA's unique relationship with an active industry, I continue to be involved in productions.  Working with producers and department heads, I am engaged in the development of film projects and student learning opportunities.
