Announcement

We’re very happy to announce
Matthew Temple, V.P. of Production and Development, for
Mili Pictures, has agreed to hear pitches from some of our Film Connection students and to potentially mentor apprentices looking to develop family entertainment projects, stories about kids for kids, and animated projects. Temple describes what he does the following way:
“My job is to find projects, develop projects, and bring them into the pipeline.”
Matthew Temple also believes in the process of mentored apprenticeship for the practical, hands-on experience it affords individuals.
“Even still in Europe there’s a very strong apprenticeship tradition, whether it’s woodworking or baking, you know, to really be able to get your hands dirty and right into the work is really important, take a step out of the academic and realize at some point that your work needs to be practical, the work needs to be done.”
The “work” Temple speaks of transcends simply making money. It’s about social awareness and responsibility and it’s on this point that Matthew Temple says he and Consultant Brian Kraft really connected on a deeper level.
“We share a real symbiotic understanding of why we do what we do. We have an obligation and a responsibility to do our job and do it well because our stories speak to humanity… The work we do has an impact.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. We send a warm welcome to you Matthew Temple! We are elated to know your talent and vision will play a role in helping our apprentices launch their careers and maybe even get their films on the big screen!
