George Mauro: Small world

Hi James,

Small world. I live on Sheila Lane in Pacifica right near the top at View.  

 I was poking around looking for gigs in the video biz and ran across your site.

I'm currently teaching FCP6, Motion and DVD Studio Pro classes at BAVC in  San Francisco [bavc.org], Future Rhythms in Santa Clara

[futurerhythm.com] and just finished teaching summer classes at Stanford for the Digital Media Academy. 

 

I’ve been in the multimedia/television biz for over 30 years. Mostly an editor/director.  I’ve worked in news, broadcast, corporate and industrials.  Most of my career has been with on-line post houses. 

 

Just in case you need any help.  Let me know if you'd like more information or if you'd like me to just fade away... Sealed

 

Cheers and enjoy Pacifica.
