The DRIVE to make it happen

Nicolas Winding Refn, director of the film DRIVE. He usually shoots in
chronological order which allows him to improvise & not worry about
what he's already shot. No rehearsals, it's all in casting. He finds
storyboarding frustrating & tries to avoid it.

Busy 4th quarter

It's going to be a hell of a busy 4th quarter for me in 2011 - feature

ISMP, 5 years for the school & 3 years for me

A school is only as good as it's students, and I'm grateful to be able consider my students as my friends and even better, as my creative film collaborators (and sometimes as cheap labor). I originally came to ISMP for Junya Sakino (he's probably sick of me by now), I stayed at ISMP for my students (it's hard to choose who my favorite student is... it's definitely not Takeya Aso... ok, my favorite student is definitely not a guy), and now I look forward to what ISMP will become for myself (ISMP is my weird hobby). Here's to a 5th Anniversary of great students and many more years of fun (although rewriting student scripts can be such a pain in the ass - do your teacher a favor, KEEP STUDYING ENGLISH)! Cheers! おめでとうございます。

ISMPはロサンゼルス発の映画をつくりたい人、映画業界に入りたい人、映画留学したい人など、映画業界志望者が日本語で本場ハリウッドの映画製作を学べる学校です。
