Horse Selection & Care Workshop
How to choose, care for, and bond with a war horse. Hoof inspection, feeding on campaign, recognizing lameness, field veterinary basics. My horse carried me through twelve years of war. Your horse is your life. Treat it better than you treat yourself.
Night Raid Tactics Workshop -- Strike in the Dark
In 1462, I attacked the Ottoman camp at night with 7,000 men against 90,000. We rode through the camp killing anyone we could reach, aiming for Mehmed's tent. We did not get Mehmed, but the terror was devastating. Night raids require total discipline and intimate knowledge of the terrain. Tip: In darkness, confusion is your weapon. The enemy fights his own shadows.
Patent Writing Crash Course -- Protect Your Ideas
Small group (max 4). I'll teach you how to write a patent application: claims, specifications, drawings. The patent is the inventor's sword and shield. Without it, your idea belongs to whoever copies it first. I learned this the hard way with the movie camera.
Chemistry Career Mentoring -- The Accidental Discovery Path
One-on-one. I took a temporary job and stayed 40 years. My biggest discovery came from a failed experiment. I will help you navigate a science career: when to persist, when to pivot, how to recognize the unexpected as opportunity, and how to get your work recognized in a field that often overlooks women.
Metal Filing & Fitting -- Hand Precision
Before machine tools, precision came from hand filing. File metal flat, square, and to dimension using a file, a square, and a surface plate. Patient, precise, and deeply satisfying.
Film Fight Choreography Session
Learn to design fight scenes for camera. Real combat is ugly. Screen combat is poetry. I'll show you camera angles, timing, and how to sell a punch that misses by six inches. Every fight tells a story -- what's yours?
Action Scene Workshop -- How to Throw a Punch on Camera
Film fighting is NOT real fighting. I'll teach you camera angles, pull distances, reaction timing, and how to sell a hit. We'll choreograph a 30-second fight scene by the end of the session. Bruce Lee taught me the value of screen combat efficiency -- I'm passing it on.
Screen Presence Workshop -- Less Is Everything
I teach you what Billy Wilder taught me: the camera sees everything you're thinking. You don't need to show it -- you need to FEEL it. We work on stillness, listening, and the art of the reaction shot. Tip: Most young actors try to DO too much. Stop doing. Start being.
On-Camera Dialogue Coaching -- Making Every Word Count
Most actors read lines. I teach you to THROW lines -- like darts. Short, sharp, landed. We study Casablanca, The Big Sleep, and The Maltese Falcon. Tip: The audience should feel like they're overhearing you, not listening to you.
Camera Confidence Workshop -- Owning the Lens
The camera is not your enemy. It's your best friend -- the one who sees everything and forgives everything. I teach you how to find your light, your angle, and your truth. We work with a live camera feed so you can see yourself the way the audience sees you.
Film Directing Fundamentals -- Telling the Story Through the Lens
I directed nine films. The trick is knowing what the camera should see versus what the audience should feel. Those are often different things. We work on shot selection, actor direction, and visual storytelling. Bring a short script and we'll storyboard it together.
Samurai Screen Combat Workshop -- The Way of the Blade
Katana work for film. Proper draw, strike, and resheath. We use bokken (wooden swords) first, then move to iaito (blunt steel). I'll teach you the difference between real kenjutsu and what looks good on camera. Kurosawa insisted on realism -- the audience can feel a fake swing. Tip: Speed comes from relaxation, not tension.
