A New Beginning


Welcome to our first newsletter. It's promising to be an exciting year with lots of changes.

For the first time we will be running Camera courses in both first and second semester. Shel will be teaching the Camera 1 course. DOP Lance Carlson is teaching the Camera 2 and Lighting course. Also for the first time we're running an Editing course, that I will be teaching. Why the changes? These elements were previously encased in the general production courses. We recognized the need to get students exposed to camerawork early on (along with Photography). We also were keen to give more focus and training in camera, lighting and editing.

We are also pleased to welcome our new Screenwriting instructor, Steve Lucas. Steve brings a wealth of writing and show-running experience in both drama and documentaries to our program.

For this semester, I won't be teaching the Journal as there are two sections of Documentary and News Production 1 which I'll be teaching. Producer Dorlene Lin will be taking over the Journal this semester. Dorlene brings both journalistic and and independent producer experience to our program.
