Reviews:

“I've been in film school for 6 years (3 in undergrad and 3 in an MFA Directing program) and I have honestly learned more about making a project cinematic and evocative with Film Reframed in the last month than I have in all my years at film school. Roman is an excellent teacher, and I love all of the materials and examples that come with each course.”
