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
