Apprentices in Action

Anne Marie Cummings
Film Connection student,
Anne Marie Cummings (Los Angeles, CA and originally from New York) just signed a contract with
Intrinsic Value Films for both her culinary romantic comedy feature, “Eat Bitter, Taste Sweet” and the fresh, half-hour TV series she’s currently developing. So how did it all come about? Anne Marie was meeting with her mentor Aimee Schoof when she asked her if she would like to hear her idea for a TV series. Upon hearing it, Aimee told her, “I’m not gonna let you not do this.” Flash forward to today and Anne Marie is busy writing the TV pilot while her screenplay is in circulation getting coverage. More on this in an upcoming issue!

Jordan Robertson
Recording Connection student
Jordan Robertson (Baton Rouge, LA) is recording and mastering a full-length LP for well-known funk band The Easy. When he’s not doing that, he’s working a hip-hop/dubstep Christmas song for rapper ROCK. Well jingle, jingle all the way! We can’t wait to hear the new tracks!

Michelina Friss
Film Connection student
Michelina Friss (Lancaster, PA) is being coached by her mentor Sebastian Triscari in effective storyboarding. Although she was initially intimidated by the idea of storyboarding, Michelina has found it to be a very effective way of catching and getting her ideas down visually so she can communicate them to other pros!
