A little bit about my friend the great director, Demian Litchenstein
Here is a master in action.........
His biography---

Lichtenstein graduated in 1984 as the preeminent film and television student of New York City's High School of Art & Design. A National Honor student, Regent Scholar, recipient of the New York City Media Award for excellence and achievement in cinema, upon his graduation from Carnegie Hall, he was voted the number one High School film student in NYC.
