"The Happy Hour conversation is really helping me bind a lot of what I’m learning through the JSFL Lab Series, through watching movies inspired and directly nudged by The TechniqueI like geeking out on The Technique - especially, because I’m putting it through its paces in various levels of my creative process."

"Taking advantage of and creating opportunities to connect with other Filmmaking Labs alumni outside of class to practice what we've learned in the Labs has been invaluable. It has helped me form a community of colleagues, collaborators, and friends who support my creative work, and it has helped me understand and practice the Technique™. My creative partner and I organized some Generators to develop his script and prepare for rehearsals and shooting, and we've also been using them to develop my script. For me, that kind of community-based, outside-of-class practice has been a crucial bridge from learning to implementation."
