The course gives a good overview of the role. The 5 stars are for that. I wanted more detailed information, but I appreciate the instructor's real experiences and positive energy during the course.

The speaker is not very skilled and or confident about the information she is supposed to be conveying. It is obvious she has notes and has not prepared. Frustrating because she probably has much to share.

Very basic information. Presenter went on way too many tangents and was disorganized in her thoughts. Wouldn't spend $$ on this.

Solid. Wish it went more into detail/specific about creating budgeting, breakdown, and paperwork. It was mainly listening to Kris's experiences in her field, which you pick up a thing here and there and teaches you the realism of the industry. But if it was more in depth with example sheets to use + her experience, it would be a 5/5 class. So 3/5 for me.

Very good match. Very informative and well presented. My hat off to Kris for making the videos. Learning and confirming much of what I thought it would be (from an outside-of-the-film-industry perspective) So excited to go back to set and share my new-found knowledge on Line Production (from a PA that comes from a corporate finance and project management background). Really a great couse so far!
