Filmmaker Visits Classroom

Tuesday, July 26th was a special day for the youngsters
at the Los Angeles pre-school when they found out that
Shervin Youssefian would come and speak to the whole class about
the making of the motion picture Machiavelli Hangman.
While most of them did not know anything about the film that was
about to be released to the nation and most of them probably had
never heard of the filmmaker’s name, they all sat there quietly,
studying with soft eyes and listening as their teacher introduced
the lecturer.
Youssefian began with a soft and soothing voice by introducing
himself and why he had suddenly decided to drop by to visit his
little friends. As soon as there was the mention of a Hollywood
movie and how it would be in theatres soon, the eyes lit up and
the children leaned over on their desks not to miss a single
word.
One of them asked if Youssefian knew Hillary Duff, another asked
if Britney Spears was in the film and how come she had not come
instead of him. Youssefian laughed like a good uncle and he
patiently explained that he had not had the pleasure of working
with either stars yet.
Waiting for his cues from the teacher, Stacey Norwood, he began
taking the whole classroom into an inspired discussion about
movies and actors and actresses and what was the children’s
favorite movie and if they would want to work in the industry one
day.
The atmosphere started out as pleasant and within 20 minutes it
had turned passionate as Youssefian laughed whole-heartedly at
the children’s remarks such as "Was your mom mad when you told
her you wanted to make movies?" Norwood observed. His response to
that was to always be straight-forward with parents and
everything would find a way to work out.
"He spoke to them as if they were equal and that’s what I really
appreciated. You could see that the children loved him and
respected him and immediately welcomed into the class."
Before leaving, Youssefian passed out some memorabilia from the
movie to the children who gave him a big round of applause.
"You can’t imagine how great this gesture was. These children are
sponges and they will probably remember this day for the rest of
their lives. Most of them are already giving up their plans to
become a doctor to get behind the camera!" added Norwood.
