WHAT
OTHERS SAY:
“I want to thank Julia Verdin for
her support. I took Producer’s
Foundation Certificate course with Julia, and
her guest speakers Charles Berg and
Mark Stolaroff. It made me feel like I
could do this. And, voila! Here’s my
film, ANGELITO IN YOUR EYE,
starting the festival
circuit by first entering Los Angeles
Independent Film Festival Awards as
an official selection!”

Judy Sandra
“You deserve a big applause for
connecting creativity to
passion by your awesome
productive curriculum,
classes and support to your students and
alumni all over USA and world. Julia
Verdin’s Producing course was a
big boost to my
career. I had no background in filmmaking
and this is where Raindance stepped
in by offering me their best
support and constantly mentoring me
during this course. I
highly recommend the classes
by Raindance for both first timers and
established filmmakers to update
their knowledge. I
dedicate our award to Ms. Verdin and
Raindance LA. Thank you so much
Julia and Raindance!”
