Welcome to my ePortfolio site! I am so glad you found it. So now you are here, what do I need to tell you? First and most important, I love to teach.
Albert Einstein wrote that
It
is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and
knowledge.
Pablo Picasso wrote
We
all know that art is not truth. Art is the lie that makes us realize the truth.
Paul of Tarsus wrote
For
now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face.
After 25 active years writing, directing and producing for film and television worldwide, I find myself truly fulfilled in teaching the next generation of filmmakers. From the day I left Oxford University I wanted to make television programs; in those days everything shot on location was made using 16mm film. So I joined BBC Television and studied under the great documentarian Peter Montagnon, who made that wonderful series Civilization, available in every public library across the USA. Read My Life in Television (on the Resources page) to get a flavor of just what joy making film and television programs can be. It is a marvelous profession, and a truly creative one for those who are called to do it, because we can shine rays of light in a fallen world.
