Oscar Williams, a highly accomplished and esteemed educator, has devoted the past few years to instructing intermediate film production at the esteemed University of Southern California. As a student, I had the privilege of being part of his class during the fall semester of 1998. Williams' unwavering passion for Japanese cinema, particularly the iconic films of the legendary Akira Kurosawa, is truly inspiring. As a knowledgeable filmmaker himself, he brings a unique depth of understanding to his teaching, making him an exceptional instructor. Moreover, his genuine enthusiasm and love for the art of cinema are palpable and infectious, allowing students to absorb his expertise and develop a profound appreciation for the craft. Under his guidance, I have acquired a significant amount of knowledge and insight, which has been invaluable to my own growth as a filmmaker.
