Andrew's teaching style:
I love movies - all kinds - and I’ve spent my life visualizing them for directors and producers. I’m also a fan of graphic novels and comics. Telling stories with pictures is my favorite activity - no matter what medium I’m working in. I also use examples of great films to inspire students in my classes. I’m a hands on teacher. I love working with students of all ages and abilities.
Andrew loves EAC because . . .
