Why I teach

 

The state of professional development in media arts: 

 

All creators, me included, aspire to tell great stories that will resonate with audiences at home and around the globe no matter the platform: be it stage, print, canvas, or screen. From experience I know this is an aspiration that can only be successfully achieved with informed business production practices and often many creators are without the necessary skills or information needed to achieve their desired objectives. It`s an education gap that’s becoming wider for media artists even as the landscape for content become more fragmented, globally needy yet even more competitive.​

​

Success, especially in this business, is about story and math. Business Affairs is the golden thread that holds a production together from script to screen.  To keep a project from unraveling at its many seams, it is imperative to improve one’s business affairs intelligence. Critical thinking, analysis of media, empowerment of collaborators and pro-active problem solving are some of the skills required for business affairs acumen. "There is no waste! "everything I have learned; I have found a way to put to good use".​
