Bryan Hickox, president of Bryan Hickox Pictures in Jacksonville, Florida notes: "I have hired my second Film & TV Connection student, Pam Wiselogel, to do our in-house Digital Editing on an Avid. The first was Mark, who works for us as a Producer. I still would like to know what screening process you use to obtain your trainees, but whatever it is, keep it up! I look forward to receiving your next candidate."

Tony Travise of Two-Tone Films says "Derek Koen is working on a film for HBO here in New York City. Not bad considering he had no background and had never been on a film set until 3 months ago."
