Four of our IDF students accompanied me to the masterclass conversation with Academy Award winning costume designer, Deborah L. Scott. She won the Academy award for Titanic, and she's currently working on the 2 new Avatar features with James Cameron. It's great to spend time with one of the best in the world at her craft and profession!
