Second year work at California Institute of the Arts, in the BFA Film and Video Program.
Classes for the major are Intermediate Cinematography, Cinematic Lighting, Film Production, Aesthetics of Sound and Image, History of Documentary Film, Screenwriting, and Cinematic Voices.
This does not include the countless projects I worked on as a crew member.
