Student Reflection
"Rocking the Boat has helped me tremendously in the area of film making. In the fall semester me and another photographer filmed a documentary short on Rocking the Boat, which happened to be my first film job. The film was shown on DCTV and then it was shown again at a film festival a couple of months later. Because of Rocking the Boat, I have found serious direction in my career choice in life and I will always be grateful."
-John Furman, shop apprentice, age 18
