My Nonprofit Reviews

I was in one of the first MAPS classes back in 2004. While I had been interested in theater for years, MAPS was one of the first programs that encouraged me to diverge into the medium of film. Peter Rosten greatly encouraged me as a writer, and as a mentor to my fellow peers. Without the MAPS Program of the Irwin and Florence Rosten Foundation and their encouragement, I wouldn't be where I am today: Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC. Peter still takes the time to get me advice on any projects I've sent to him, and the program is still a supporting group in the background of my career. I can't thank them for their kindness, and can't speak more highly of what they are doing for students in a location where such film resources would not otherwise be readily available.
