Renowned American filmmaker Lawrence Kasanoff has had a hand in movies such as Dirty Dancing, Platoon, Terminator 2, True Lies and the Mortal Kombat series, and is about to release his new book, A Touch of the Madness: How to Be More Innovative in Work and Life … by Being a Little Crazy.

Recently, Kasanoff was also the chair of the Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival and sat down with The Global Connection host Dr. Anna Sajecki to chat about this next generation of filmmakers and how to build a career in the film industry today.
