Mount Carmel School president Galvin Deleon Guerrero will be pursuing his passion for filmmaking this summer. The long-time educator and filmmaker is set to earn a certificate in Digital Filmmaking from New York University\u2019s Center for Advanced Digital Applications in a two-week program this summer.<\/p>\n

Guerrero has been producing, directing, editing, and working on films for over two decades now, but said that he has reached the limits of what he can learn on his own. He said he always desired to go to film school but felt like he had to decide between his two passions: teaching and filmmaking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis summer intensive [program] is the perfect way to balance both passions and, perhaps, combine them,\u201d he told Saipan Tribune.<\/p>\n

According to the course\u2019s website, the program is a \u201cfast paced, teamwork-oriented, accelerated course that develops the creative talents of a select number of inspiring filmmakers in the essential aspects of today\u2019s digital film and technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program\u2019s goal is to immerse participants in the business and art of visual storytelling, while instructed by award-winning faculty members.<\/p>\n

This is not Guerrero\u2019s first encounter with NYU. The 1991 MCS alumnus applied to the university in 2004, but had to withdraw his application when Bishop Emeritus Tomas A. Camacho requested that he return to his alma mater to serve as its principal.<\/p>\n

Guerrero\u2019s passion for teaching and filmmaking has gone hand in hand with the school Theatre Club\u2019s 17 years of film and production success. Under his guidance, the school has produced over 30 films and live productions. Many past and current students of Guerrero have said that his work inspires generations of performers, orators, actors, tech gurus, and filmmakers.<\/p>\n

From behind the scene production to the debut of a live performance, Guerrero has successfully molded several students into passionate and hardworking thespians.<\/p>\n

MCS Theatre Club member and junior student Markel Toves said that Guerrero instills enthusiasm, creativity, and imagination in the school\u2019s club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to become a superhero or superhuman. With the magic Mr. Guerrero has shown me with theater club and film, lots of things seem so possible. He\u2019s opened closed doors that hid the answers to my questions,\u201d Toves said. \u201cHe inspired me to pursue my dreams and to achieve things higher than my comfort zone\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of Guerrero\u2019s most notable work can be found on his YouTube channel, \u201cgalvinguerrero.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guerrero urges aspiring filmmakers to \u201ckeep up with the pace of technological advancements in digital filmmaking, but stay grounded in the roots of film by learning from the classics.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said everyone should, more importantly, \u201cdo what they love and love what they do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
