The New Mexico Film Foundation invited Joel to Albuquerque for his Be Your Own Hollywood workshop and we were not disappointed. Joel offers no-nonsense, practical information about independent filmmaking, marketing and distribution. For some the information Joel presented was a well-needed reality check. We recommend Joel highly.
