Escoles de cinema i Mark Berger

Mark Berger és un mesclador de cinema amb 4 Oscars: Amadeus (1984), Apocalypse Now (1979), The English Patient (1996) i Right Stuff (1983).

"When people come and ask about what shall I do to learn filmmaking or what courses should I take to become a filmmaker, the first thing that I always tell them is: don’t take any film courses.
