Introduce Yourself : Teacher and "One Man Band" by Thomas B Barker

Teacher and "One Man Band"

I began making movies at age 15 with 8mm (much like Steven Spielberg). I am self taught though (unlike Martin Scorsese who went to NYU). However I entered the first Brown Intercollegiate FF and came in 2nd to Marty. My films have been short (under 10 minutes for the most part), often social commentaries and I believe that film (movies, video, whatever you call it) is THE communication medium of the 21st Century. Therefore I have been teaching my 2 grandsons and their 10 friends how to make movies each summer for the last 5 years. My films have won CINE Eagle awards and most recently my film., "The Last Drop of Oil" was an official selection in the Greentopia Film Festival. My web site (tombarker.net) has a lot of activity on films including the results of the last 4 years of Movie Camp.

I forgot to mention that I directed and edited a series of instructional videos that won seven Telly awards.
