Some mentors couldn’t be more proud. Film Connection mentor Sean McCarthy recently had this to say about his apprentice Alex Geranios (Bay Area, CA): “It’s a beautiful thing when you see people who are trapped in something and they’re really talented, really smart, and you see them unlock…Someone like Alex, who started with us as a PA on episode 2 of Doucheaholics, and worked his way up to script supervisor and assistant editor by episode 5. So it’s really cool to see that evolve over time.”   Congrats to all the Film Connection students at Guerilla Wanderers Films on the great reviews and all the Doucheaholics success!    Film Connection student Peter Dubois (Las Vegas, NV) recently got a big surprise when he realized the major network involved on his first-ever film gig: My mentor Darko informed me a month ago that he was going to be working on this project as a camera operator and he wanted me to work with him as a PA. While he did not know all the details at the time, he informed me that the people working on this project had worked previously on several ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries. Later on we found out that this was actually going to be a 1 hour documentary for NBC Sports about the 1998 Czech hockey team that won gold at the Olympics in Nagano, Japan…The first day of shooting was one of the most exciting days of my life. This being my first ever job on a production, I was eager to work and do whatever I could to assist the production in any way shape or form.”
