Students will get a better understanding of screenwriting, cinematography, production design and editing. They'll be able to discuss the filmmaking process and have their own examples/ projects to show their learnings.

I'm a 2017 graduate from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film & Media Arts where I graduated with a BFA in Creative Producing and a minor in Public Relations. I currently work in the Theatrical Marketing (specifically, Global Publicity) department of Warner Bros. and have been there for over 3 years learning from the best in the business and working on film campaigns such as A Star Is Born, Ready Player One, Justice League, Crazy Rich Asians, Harley Quinn's Birds of Prey and numerous others!
