"I finally did get to China two years later," he says with a laugh. Despite his heavy schedule, or per haps because of it, the powers-that-be at Sheridan College ultimately asked the well-known figure if he would consider teaching in their new SCAET building (Sheridan Centre for Anima tion and Emerging Technology). After much discussion, Leiterman decided that teaching might add an interesting and challenging chapter to his filmmaking biography. "Never did it enter my mind that I'd never taught on a full-tim e basis before. How do you structure a class? How do you teach?" he says, recalling the questions that popped into his mind after accepting the position. "During the first four months, I never worked so hard in my life. I can go and work on a movie set for 14 hours a day and not feel exhausted at all, because I know what I'm doing...It was a very sharp learning curve." However, he is quite comfortable with his new role, now that his first year at Sheridan is behind him. And he claims that his plan to return next semester is a good sign. "I'm enjoying it, and they've promised me that the next year will be much easier because I've already been through the boot camp. I think it's like anything, you keep learning. And I consider myself a learner in all ways," he explains. "It worked, but not with out some anticipations and anxieties." With his help, though, the students in Leiterman's graduate class managed F ashionable C hildren' s W ear to take their own ideas and develop them into documentaries, dramas and Square One Shopping Centre Sherway Gardens commercials. And despite his limited experience with full-time students, he says he can spot the talented ones. But talent alone is not enough in the movie industry, he adds, being able to sell yourself is almost as important. But then, his students are learning F A V O U R I T E OF B A R G A I N H U N T E R S E V E R Y W H E R E ! from someone who not only teaches but also does. And his doing began with asserting himself. Now, however, the sexagenarian has producers and directors approaching him.
