Useful and entertaining. But I got the sense that I was just seeing/hearing the instructor's notes from his film class. Also, the examples he gave (of specific films to illustrate a point) was quite limited: His own film "August Rush" and a few examples from "Jaws" and others. Also, there were no take-aways or downloads--no lesson outline or other supporting material. And while I got his point about searching deep within yourself to find your most horrible or embarrassing incident in your life and using that as the base for your movie, I had a hard time accepting that . . . and Castro didn't provide sufficient justification (for me) to buy into that. On the other hand, I did get some new ideas, and those were more than worth the course.
