A mentor provides guidance, experience, motivation, and connections
Having an experienced documentary filmmaker as a mentor has definitely given me the confidence to meet the challenges of a first time filmmaker.
I still am confident that I will succeed but during each mentoring session I was shocked at how little I knew.
[My mentor] is just great and a massive dose of reassurance everytime…wisdom
Each session we had together lifted me to a completely new level of understanding.
not only was I receiving great advice but I was taking it on wholeheartedly
I really do need your guidance, so thank you for that!
Having an experienced documentary filmmaker as a mentor has definitely given me … confidence.
Mentorship from EAT provides a unique engagement.
I felt supremely confident that I could produce and direct my first fully professional play.
