Why I chose CCH: “I considered other L.A. area film schools, but they didn’t have equipment centers with equipment readily available to students and most seemed to be mostly theory film schools. I already know a lot of film theory due to my first degree in mass communications, so I really needed to know practical application and how to actually make a film. When I found Columbia College Hollywood, I fell in love with the campus which has the essentials of a mini-studio lot where I could get my hands on equipment and start shooting. Also, the application process is more streamlined than in other colleges and universities, and the student body feels like family which makes networking here very easy.”
Favorite classes: Directing Actors, Development: From Acquisition To Green Light, Visual Design, Script Analysis, History of Critical Analysis, MP History: British Films
My personal vision: “I want to write and direct my own films that hold social relevance.”

At CCH, we believe it is important to take a stand by demonstrating our willingness to promote and inspire systemic change. We must speak honestly and truthfully to the ugliness of racism that permeates throughout our society today. It may be an uncomfortable conversation for some, but it is an all-too familiar reality for anyone living in this country with black or brown skin. Hiding from it, ignoring it, or being silent about it will not make it go away.
