THE AFI CINEMATOGRAPHY PROGRAM
“AFI was my real introduction to structure. I had watched movies, but from a craft standpoint I was still catching up. I learned how to perfect dialogue and how to get in and out of a scene quickly. I’ve had lessons in the business since, but all of the early foundational knowledge I got at AFI.”
