Hello! A while ago I purchased from your website the Directing The Hero Within DVD and Info Kit, which I found to be most useful.

Some years ago I completed studies in Filmmaking and upon coming back to my rural and regional community to be with my farming partner, I had been asked by some community groups and schools to give some ‘lessons’ on media making.

Even though I do occasional media consulting, I was not confident in teaching the knowledge I had to others – as I didn’t know where to begin.

Your resources helped with this. Thank you. Now there are some in my town who have the basic skills required to tell their own stories and express themselves with ‘new media’. My most memorial workshop was with a local indigenous school of about 17 participants where the students created 3 stories. A horror, a comedy and a drama.
