Your ticket to Hollywood.

Whether you're looking to work in front of the camera, behind the scenes, or both, we offer top training in acting, cinematography, directing, producing, the business of entertainment, and much more.

Our award-winning instructors (many of them Oscar, Emmy, or Grammy winners themselves), give you more than a theoretical education. They show you how to get started, get the job, and make your mark.

We offer industry exposure and access in the form of internship opportunities and student screenings, including our UCLAx Film Fest, as well as networking and pitch night events.

The proof is in the pudding: many of our students go on to work at top entertainment companies, or become award winners or nominees themselves.
