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!”

    — Rand Sinha
