Interview with Screenwriting Grad, Rod Jorge and Visiting Lecturer, Hal Cantor
We were delighted to see that MA Screenwriting (MAS) graduate, Rod Jorge is producing a play to appear at the Museum of Comedy in August. It stars and was written by Hal Cantor, a MAS visiting lecturer and Rod’s mentor.
MAS students are paired with mentors to support in the development of their feature film screenplay. This relationship is established during Module 3 and often continues beyond graduation to support graduates into their careers and so it’s fantastic to see that this has resulted in such creative work.
