Posted on Feb 22, 2011 @ 06:14PM
Charlie Sheen and his baseball-great-turned-producer pal Todd Zeile spent their time on Monday mentoring three aspiring filmmakers and RadarOnline.com has all the details.
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, co-founder Delores A. Brown of the Los Angeles Institute of Film Education, says three aspiring film makers, aged 12-16, spent the better part of their day with Sheen and taught them a thing or two of what happens behind the scenes of the camera during a shoot.
“Charlie was a surprise, a very nice surprise,” Brown says. “Todd and Charlie are very good friends and Charlie spent about three hours giving the kids a private session of what goes on before, during and after a shoot.
“It was great because he can provide real hands-on experience and the kids loved that!”

The Los Angeles Institute of Film Education – aka L.I.F.E. – is a non-profit that was co-founded by Brown and Todd Zeile in 2006 that enables and empowers students to change their community and the world through media education and the arts with hands-on experience.
The aspiring filmmakers - Amber, Kayshawn and Milagro – participated in the mock shoot from 7am until 3pm in Westlake Village at Hipster Kids, a clothing store owned by Zeile’s wife Julianne McNamara-Zeile and her sister Elizabeth McNamara-Thompson.
“The shoot was a mock training session – the focus was to be able to excite and ignite kids about behind the scenes of the camera and Charlie and Todd did just that!”

“The children worked on a reverse shots, the difference between a shoot and a take and talked about lens’ and digital film.
“We shot about seven minutes worth of training video – it was great!”

Despite Charlie’s latest headline-making antics, Delores wasn’t the least bit worried about the Two and a Half Men star mentoring the children.
“There was no concern having Charlie around the kids at all. He was a gentleman, he really worked well with the kids and they loved it - it was a wonderful experience.”

Seems Charlie is working to revamp the old image. Need to put his pic up with those pics that
show the ravages of meth/drug usage.
