Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
May 27, 2015
This is a presentation I gave at California State University Dominguez Hills about a documentary film called, Dear Zachary, as it relates to film budgeting, self-promotion, fundraising, and indie box office potential. I recommend this movie to everyone (available on YouTube & Netflix). The storyline is very captivating and the gross total is commendable given the film's production value.
