Humanitarian Storytelling Workshop -- Making the World Listen
How to tell stories that move people to action. I learned this at UNICEF -- you can show a million statistics and nothing changes. Show one child's face and the whole world responds. We work on narrative, photography, and the courage to witness.
Singing Coaching -- Finding Your Breathy Best
I sang Happy Birthday to a president and Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend to the world. My voice wasn't perfect -- it was MINE. I teach you to stop imitating and start expressing. We work on breath control, phrasing, and emotional delivery. You don't need range. You need truth.
Public Speaking Masterclass -- The Voice That Cannot Be Ignored
Whether you're addressing a boardroom or a protest march, your voice must carry conviction. I'll teach you pacing, breath control, and how to land a sentence so it stays in the room after you've left. Harry and I spoke at the March on Washington. The microphone helps, but the message does the work.
Storyboard & Shot Planning Workshop
I planned every frame before we rolled camera. By the time we shot, the film was already made -- the set was just a formality. We'll storyboard a five-minute suspense sequence from your script. Every shot has a PURPOSE. If it doesn't build tension, cut it.
35mm Film Camera (Arriflex IIC)
The same model I used for Paths of Glory and Spartacus. Pin-registered gate, crystal sync motor. This camera taught me everything about exposure, framing, and the cost of mistakes (film stock isn't cheap). Comes with three prime lenses: 25mm, 50mm, and 85mm.
Cold-Water Swimming Coaching -- Morning Discipline
I swam in the Long Island Sound every morning, year-round, into my nineties. Cold water wakes up everything -- your body, your mind, your courage. I'll teach you to breathe, to enter the water without flinching, and to find the joy in discomfort. Tip: The first thirty seconds are terrible. After that, you're alive.
Radio Drama Production Workshop -- Theatre of the Mind
No picture. No set. Just voices, sound effects, and the listener's imagination. I panicked a nation with War of the Worlds using nothing but a microphone and clever editing. Radio drama is the purest form of storytelling. We write, record, and produce a 10-minute piece in one session.
Professional Condenser Microphone (RCA 44-BX Ribbon)
The same model microphone I used for Mercury Theatre broadcasts. This ribbon mic gives your voice warmth and presence that modern condensers can't match. Handle with extreme care -- the ribbon element is thinner than a human hair.
Magic & Misdirection Workshop -- The Art of Deception
I performed magic my entire life -- for troops in WWII, on talk shows, and between takes on set. Magic teaches you about attention, misdirection, and the willingness of people to believe. Every filmmaker is a magician. We learn card magic, cups and balls, and the psychology behind why people see what you want them to see.
Minimalist Film Directing Workshop -- Two Takes and Print
I direct fast and quiet. No yelling, no ego, no fiftieth take. We shoot a short scene with available light, two cameras, and maximum two takes per setup. Tip: Trust your actors. Hire good people and get out of their way. The director's job is to create an environment where the truth can happen.
Boxing Training Session -- Raging Bull Fundamentals
Jake LaMotta trained me for a year. I learned jab, cross, hook, uppercut, and the footwork of a middleweight. Boxing teaches you rhythm, distance, and controlled aggression -- all of which translate directly to screen performance. We wrap hands, hit bags, and spar light.
Viking Seax Knife & Leather Tool Roll
Large seax knife (12-inch single-edge blade) and leather roll with fire steel, whetstone, and bone needles. The seax was tool, weapon, and eating knife in one. Every Norseman carried one. Mine has a pattern-welded blade -- the maker's signature in the steel.
