Today, a former student of mine, Sean Parker, came to Lewis to talk with some of my students about video production. I had Sean in my first and second grade class at Buckman Elementary about 11 years ago. He is a recent graduate of Benson High School in Portland and will be attending Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington next fall, studying film making. Sean is already an accomplished videographer. You can see some examples of his work at Studentfilms.com.
