Dear Nathaniel,

If it's not presumptuous, I endorse your pursuit of film-making.
For many years I was closely acquainted with a very sensitive,
intelligent, well-known (and successful) filmmaker, Frederic Wiseman
whose work you might find very instructive.

As you proceed, think about and investigate the potential market
for your work. I have another acquaintance who is assistant legal 
counsel for WGBH who might give us leads to people to talk to.

Love, Jochen
