…You never have the right logistics, your men don’t want to fight, you don’t have enough firepower, your hands are tied by armchair generals, the politicians never know what they really want and still, you have to take that damn hill!" – Mike Alcazaren, CDCP
I believe mentorship is an important component of success in any field you want to get into. This holds particularly true to film-making. Being with possible mentors who will share their experience with you is worth the investment. – Sockie Fernandez, CDCP
