We provide job training, job placement and career advancement services to economically and socially at-risk individuals who come from predominantly disadvantaged areas of Los Angeles County. We seek to create much-needed diversity behind the camera in the entertainment industry.

Before we give a candidate the application, we ask that they submit two letters of recommendation from professional contacts--on letterhead. We determine from that point whether to give the candidate the application.

Applicants must be at least 20 years of age.

There is no cost to the student to participate in the program, but the student must have the savings or resources to cover expenses for up to three months. While participating in the training and initial job placement, the students are not receiving any income, so we want to feel confident that they are able to take care of themselves financially for that period of time. Many students have savings in place or supply letters of financial support from family members.
