I took all three courses of the film pathway, all with Mr. Boice, and in the class of 2025 I am being a teacher's assistant for his Digital Filmmaking Class, as well as being an Equipment manager, and I can strongly attest that to succeed in this class you just have to do your work. That is if you only want to have a grade, but if you want to actually succeed as a filmmaker, I highly encourage constant communication with Mr. Boice, since he has the best, in my opinion, philosophy for the art teacher, that is that he will not restrict you in your aspirations, but you first have to pitch him what you want and he will provide you with the resources. The help is always available in his class and the only person to blame for not getting it is a student yourself. Thus my main advise is COMMUNICATE.

Mr. Boice is an amazing film teacher and deserves an acknowledgment for the amazing job that he did for the film program at Beckman, including extensive collaboration with FilmEd (Orange County business dedicated to promoting and teaching students the art of filmography) and his continuous strivings to improve the inventory of our school's film equipment catalog.
