What Daniela's Students are Saying...
Your class gave me the confidence boost I needed and really made me see our world thru the eyes of the director. Just wanted to thank you and tell you that I got my own show as Main Unit Script Supervisor on The Chi.

[re: Director Whisperer Training Program] Daniela is a wonderful teacher. Even though I have already worked as a Script Supervisor for some years, it was a highly interesting and entertaining endeavour, validatting in many ways how I already work. I found her advice informative, her stories valuable, and the lessons themselves great fun.

"Daniela was my gateway to beginning to understand of the mechanics of film and tv. When I took Daniela's class 11 years ago, I had never even heard script and continuity supervision. After taking it, I had a healthy respect for the work we do and I had gained the confidence to speak up about anything I thought was important. Daniela's extensive experience and wit make her class fascinating and a pleasure."
