1. Teaching Method and Techniques:
My teaching approach is deeply rooted in practical experience and creative exploration. I believe that filmmaking, scriptwriting, and acting are arts that are best learned through a blend of theory and hands-on application. I utilize a teaching technique that combines experiential learning with story-driven exercises to help students connect emotionally and intellectually to the material.
I start by building a solid foundation of core principles—storytelling structure, character development, camera techniques, and effective communication. From there, I encourage students to work on their own projects, utilizing a mentor-apprentice model where they receive personalized guidance, constructive feedback, and the tools to experiment creatively.
I also emphasize collaboration. I often simulate real-world scenarios—such as creating mock film sets or script readings—allowing students to understand the value of teamwork in film production. Drawing from my background as a military documentarian and anthropologist, I incorporate an observational approach, encouraging students to find stories within their environment and tell them authentically.
2. A Typical Lesson Plan:
Introduction & Warm-Up (15 mins):
Review of previous work or assignment.
Interactive discussion to set the creative intention for the class.
Concepts and Techniques (20 mins):
Introduce a specific concept (e.g., 3-Act Story Structure, Composition Techniques, Character Archetypes).
Showcase examples from famous films, discussing what makes them effective.
Hands-On Activity (30 mins):
Practical exercise, such as shooting a short scene, developing a script outline, or performing an acting exercise.
This often involves using accessible equipment like mobile phones, teaching students how to maximize their tools.
Creative Showcase & Feedback (20 mins):
Students present their work.
Guided critique that focuses on constructive feedback and encourages self-reflection.
Wrap-Up and Assignment (5 mins):
Summarize key takeaways.
Assign a creative project to practice independently, such as capturing a one-minute short story or writing a dialogue scene.
3. What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor:
Unique Perspective: My experience as a retired military documentarian and anthropologist allows me to provide a unique approach to storytelling—combining discipline, real-world perspectives, and a deep understanding of human behavior.
Multi-Disciplinary Expertise: Beyond filmmaking, I bring knowledge of scriptwriting, acting, and documentary production, offering students a holistic view of the film industry. This broad skill set enables my students to gain versatility and adapt to various aspects of production.
Hands-On Experience: I have documented history firsthand and lived in various cultures, providing a rich perspective on capturing stories authentically. My lessons aren’t just theoretical—they involve creating projects that simulate real-world challenges in filmmaking.
Story-Centric Approach: As an Indigenous shaman and storyteller, I focus on using film as a tool for empowerment and healing. My teaching emphasizes the power of narrative, helping students develop stories that connect on a deeper level and reflect their unique voices.
4. Who Are the Lessons For?
Aspiring Filmmakers: Individuals with a passion for storytelling and visual media, whether just beginning their journey or having some background knowledge.
High School to College Students: Students studying film, media, or theater at a high school or undergraduate level who want to dive deeper into filmmaking, acting, or screenwriting.
Beginner to Intermediate Levels: My lessons are suitable for those starting out, as well as those who want to refine and build on their existing skills.
Actors & Scriptwriters: Those interested in learning how to create strong, engaging characters and scripts, and actors looking to understand the craft of acting for film.
