I'd like to meet:
I have met alot of the folks I wanted to meet, but I would have liked meeting Moses, Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Humphrey Bogart, Albert Einstein, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Abe Lincoln, Michelangelo, Federico Fellini, Pablo Picasso, Dali, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp. But mostly I'd like to meet other Independent and Documentary Filmmakers as well as Film and Television Faculty and I also look forward to staying in touch with my students as they journey through life.
