Dear Jimi,

Congratulations!! I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you how proud I am of you and your program. As a working Television Producer in Hollywood I can't tell you how important your program is to the industry. The idea of a "Mentor/Student" relationship is vital in gaining hands on experience in the entertainment industry. The experience that a student is able to gain by training on a real Television or Movie set is the only way to learn the business.

I truly believe your students have a considerable edge over any students educated in a traditional classroom. The only way to be successful in the entertainment industry is to be able to train with professionals on working Television & Movie sets. Your program offers everything a person would need to get a foot in the entertainment industry door.

Congratulations once again for your contributions to the industry. I wish your students lots of luck and they should know that they are in good hands.

Sincerely,

Mark Gerard
