This school allowed the transformation of the slacker I was into the supervisor I am today. I'm so lucky to have walked its halls as a student, and so proud to return as a teacher. It has been a true place of transmission for me. A place where I met people who were more mentors than teachers; people who educated me and introduced me to the world of visual effects.
