TESTIMONIALS FROM THE FEBRUARY CLASS
Bill’s friendly demeanor and relaxed atmosphere created the perfect space to explore the narrative. His creative, yet straightforward teaching approach gave me the tools I needed to establish a solid
foundation for producing video communication pieces. It was a wonderful workshop, led by a dynamic instructor, with fantastic attendees.

I had the pleasure of attending Bills Making Media that Matters workshop at LTV Studios in the Hamptons. I found the group workshop to be very productive and informative. I don’t consider myself to be tech savvy but by the end I was inspired with an idea to make a video highlighting local entrepreneur moms. My video has so far gotten 500 views and I hope it drives some business to the amazing women featured in my video. It feels good to make Media “that matters” Thanks Bill!

Bill, Thank you for the wonderful class. It helped me a lot in my journey. As an active young YouTube I was struggling on my goals and vision for the show that I created. After a few classes I realized what's my brand and why I started and most important how I can help my subscribers."

Thank you for offering Making Media that Matters. I learned a lot from your lectures and appreciated the opportunity to create video content informed by the expanded knowledge. I enjoyed the 4 week structure and being in a group with other mission-driven content creators. The community/social impact work is vital and appreciated. I hope to continue connecting in this community.
