My education was an education by movies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.
I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.
I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.
I never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.
Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.
As a kid, I was just writing scripts and taking whatever film classes I could in college.
I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.
I grew up on film scores and scores from films.
I didn't see many films until I was in college teaching.
I was quite academic, quite geeky when I was a kid. I was more interested in going to school than I was in becoming a film star or something.
