Testimonials

"I would highly recommend Patricia Scarlett’s television course for emerging producers like myself. It was very informative and very practical. Because of the small size of the classes I was able to ask a lot of questions which were answered. Patricia covered what I really needed to know as a new producer, step by step. With her many years of experience in the industry she knows a lot of key players and was more than willing to help me connect with the right people. Not only was the class information invaluable but personally it seemed like Patricia wanted to help me get moving in the right direction and she went out of her way to do that. Thanks so much. It was a pleasure learning from you. Side Note: You should change the title of your classes to 'Everything you wanted to know about being a Producer but were afraid to ask!'"

 “… I was presented with the outline of “So You’ve Made A Film… Now What” last year. On reading the presentation my immediate reaction was, this is something that is really missing from our curricula. The honesty of the training proposal is enlightening and the logical progression outstanding…”

"Patricia and Walt, Thank you very much for the informative and timely workshop that you presented on Saturday. I gained considerable knowledge from your materials and a better insight into the international distribution scene. Scarlett Media has been added to my network for my production company. I would like to meet with you before year end to discuss my current projects. Thank you again.

"Excellent workshop this weekend, the survey responses were great! I really enjoyed it myself so thanks so much."

“Thank you [Patricia] for your kind note, but I think you should be the one thanked for taking the time to come and speak with myself and other students. Here at Queen's we do not have a significant level of exposure to the more hands-on, nitty-gritties of the industry so your conference was extremely informative for us. I can tell you that from my experience with trying to land jobs in this industry, it is rare to see someone like yourself and your colleagues who genuinely care about helping students learn about the industry itself. So, thank you very much for your time and efforts.”

“…It is my belief that the course entitled “So You’ve Made A Film…Now What?” would be very useful to those PR students who are interested in a career path that includes television and film production. As well, I believe that there is a significant number of people in this area who would also benefit from such a course. I refer to those individuals who graduate from Film & Television Arts programs at the NS Community Colleges and private colleges like the Atlantic Media Institute, those who are actually working in the industry but who lack this particular expertise and those working in related areas…”

“It was my pleasure to attend your [So, You’ve Made A Film… Now What?] workshop. I thought that it was very well done and gave me a chance to see some different sides of the film and television industry that we do not experience here at Queen's. Although I think that you may have to do a follow up, as this work shop has prompted my curiosity and numerous questions about getting involved with this side of the film industry! Thank you once again, it was a great experience.”
