"Train and learn Filmmaking from Professional Hollywood Directors, Producers, Editors, and more!" - Film Underground the Northwest Film School, Bellingham, Washington
"The Northwest Film School was formed to provide filmmakers with the training, knowledge and resources to develop their creative ideas into professional quality works." - AssistantDirectors.com
"AssistantDirectors.com is the brainchild of Lennie Appelquist, a DGA 1st AD, living and working in Los Angeles [...] AssistantDirectors.com has settled into its niche as a thorough, production savvy resource site with a few extras thrown in. The original idea was for a site that would be a resource for AD department, with forms like call sheets, production reports, Exhibit G's etc. Hence the name "AssistantDirectors.com". But in doing research for the site, Lennie discovered that there didn't seem to be any "Production" sites built by anyone who had a clue about production. There are other good resources out there. In fact, we have links to all of them. But we still will continue to provide our ever expanding audience with good information about the BIZ." - Film Production from BUBL LINK Catalogue of Internet Resources
