RACHEL NICHOLS WISHES ON A STAR – THEN BEGINS TO SEE HER DREAMS COME TRUE

“The San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking is a fine institution. I came across it after wishing on a star and then the next day my boyfriend brought home an advertisement. For the first time in my life I am working towards unlocking the potential that so many frustrated teachers have told me I possessed. The key to this long awaited development is in the teaching styles of this school. I needed to be thrown into filmmaking. I’m not good with sitting idly by, while dull instructors drone on about theory and possible methods. FilmSchoolSF emphasizes hands on techniques, which help me achieve a greater understanding of the equipment and its applications. Amazingly our entire class of 14 students has come from little to no film experience and within two months we have each achieved movie magic. Until now, I had never attended a school that spoke of our future careers. I truly believe that every student in our class will have the necessary tools and connections when we graduate to pursue our dreams. I am constantly inspired by the careers and achievements of our teachers. I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity and in the very near future I will finally have a career that doesn’t feel like a job.”
