Talent Has Hunger - Teaching Passion

Talent Has Hunger is an inspiring film about the power of music to consume, enhance, and propel lives. Filmed over 7 years, this film is a window into the mysterious world of the artist, the passion that can grip and sustain a young player from childhood through the last days of life and the years of sacrifice and dedication a budding artist needs to fulfill one's talent.

Talent Has Hunger shines a laser light on the work of master cello teacher, Paul Katz, guiding gifted young people through the struggles of becoming a musician, but the film is also a powerful metaphor about mastering virtually any human endeavor.

"Like a musical 'Hoop Dreams'! An illuminating celebration of music and the art of teaching." -BOSTON GLOBE

"Fabulous! Full of wisdom, warmth and compassion. The film captures that rare magical process of a master teacher at work that made me feel he was not just teaching cello students...it was a lesson to all of us." - YO-YO MA
