He was the most influential person on my directing and working with actors. I like to think that he lives on through us, his students.

I was a design, not a film student, and had a very limited science background. He made the subject matter fascinating and his enthusiasm made the class care about what was being learned. I still find the topic interesting and am very grateful to have had the opportunity to study with him.
