I’d like to compliment Patrick and the teaching staff at Berleley Digital for the fine job they’re doing in training future film makers. I’m impressed by the professionalism of the students and their dedicationn to producing quality projects. I have been doing acting work for other film schools in the Bay Area for several years, and in my book, you guys are the best.

As an actor, sensitive folk that we are, little things sometimes make a big impression. On the occassion of my first encounter with Berkeley Digital students (an audition), I was met in the waiting room by a student on the production staff, who offered to run my lines with me.(so that I might be better prepared for the audition ).” What?”, I said to myself., “that’s the first time that I’ve had an offer like that in the several years I’ve been working with student film makers.”

Other little (and thoughtful) details, like closure with actors (whether they were cast or not), thanking them for auditioning, are furthur indicators of the outstanding training these students are getting.

I recently saw the first cut of a short film I did at the school. The short was directed by a first year student and was a quality piece in my view. Production values were wonderful I thoroughly enjoyed working with the director and his chosen crew. They were great.

I’m looking forward to doing more films with your talented group.
Keep up the fantastic work.

Dick M, actor.
