"The DMCA is a film student's dream come true. The facility is packed with cutting edge film equipment and editing software, and run by techno-guru Lee Faulkner. I had several great professors at Yale, however, Lee was my real teacher. He taught me how to tell a story with film and he taught me the commitment and perseverance it takes to tell that story well."
