Zaki Gordon Institute Kicks off Fall Semester

(Sedona, AZ) More than 40 students have arrived in Sedona and are already learning
the craft of independent filmmaking. “It’s always exciting to see new students putting
their vision on film,” said Greg Gillespie, Yavapai College’s vice president. “ZGI is an
important part of Yavapai College and the Sedona community. It’s a tribute to the dream of
its founder Dan Gordon.”

ZGI Director Stephan Schultze recently announced his departure for a similar position in
Virginia. “While I’m excited about a new opportunity, I’ll leave a part of me here at ZGI,”
he said. “I’m proud to know that even though I’m making a change, ZGI will continue to
provide an excellent education to each of our students.”
