A HISTORY OF THE LOS ANGELES FILM SCHOOL The Los Angeles Film School How it All Started In the spring of 1999, a group of Hollywood professionals with a love for all things film founded The Los Angeles Film School. Their goal was to establish a film school where current film industry professionals could share their knowledge of film production with a new generation of aspiring filmmakers. The Los Angeles Film School set up its home in the heart of Hollywood, at the historic RCA Building located at 6363 Sunset Boulevard. The building had previously been used as a recording studio by legendary artists such as Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Henry Mancini, and John Williams, who recorded the orchestral score to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi there in 1983. From its first moments, The Los Angeles Film School’s commitment to education and promoting the art of filmmaking has been paramount. During the inauguration ceremony, guest speaker Oliver Stone (Platoon, JFK, Natural Born Killers) set the bar when he said of the school, “Directors may rise and fall. Actors may wither and die. But great film schools last forever.” Other renowned film industry professionals have visited The Los Angeles Film School over the years, including Wes Craven, Martin Landau, Spike Jonze, Nick Nolte, Paul Verhoven, Rob Minkoff, Bonnie Bruckheimer, Faye Dunaway, Vicky Jenson, Steven Kemper, Timothy Dalton, Billy Bob Thornton, Julie Taymor... and the list continues to grow each year. Since its inception, The Los Angeles Film School has been dedicated to using some of the most current industry standard film equipment in its classrooms, labs, and soundstages. In 2000, The Los Angeles Film School opened the first fully digital High Definition Dolby Surround, THX-Certified Theater at any school in the world. To christen the new theater, director Philip Noyce (Dead Calm, Patriot Games) held a prescreening of his film The Bone Collector, starring Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington. The Los Angeles Film School’s promise to keep on the cutting edge of the film industry has also extended to its faculty. With credits on films like The Matrix, Spider-Man, Fight Club, Chasing Amy, Blade Runner, Gremlins, Back to the Future, Jerry Maguire, Batman, just to name a few, the teachers and staff at The Los Angeles Film School bring years of knowledge and experience to the school's classrooms, soundstages, and labs. Sharing their experiences in the art of cinematography, directing, editing, producing, production design, creative writing, sound design, and anything else they might think is important, the faculty of The Los Angeles Film School continues to be second to none. Main campus & surrounds The Los Angeles Film Located at the corner of Sunset and Ivar in the heart of Hollywood, The Los Angeles Film School’s 250,000 square-foot campus provides students with valuable, hands on experience using our world class facilities and equipment.

.jpg) | Christian Menendez Christian Menendez has 3 months until he graduates and already has two job offers waiting for him upon completion. Months of hard work and dedication are paying off. When a post-production house finally got the green light on a certain film, they did not have anyone on-board for sound design. The original guy said he knew what he was doing but then proved himself wrong. So when they asked Christian if he knew Pro-Tools and he said yes, they basically told him he better not be lying and wasting everyone’s time. Fortunately, he does know what he’s doing and is exceptionally good at Pro-Tools and Logic. They had him working right away and were so impressed with his work, they hired him for another film after completion of Spiders 3D. Christian says that many people told him not to go to school for recording engineering, that he was going to waste his time and money getting into an industry that is so volatile. He was able to prove everyone wrong. He has job offerings lined up at his feet, all offering more money than what he was making at his sales job before school. Christian is a great example of someone following their passion, despite fears and peer pressure, and excelling beyond what anyone imagined. Sound design, music mixing and mastering are what he’s most passionate about, although he’s experienced with dialogue and pretty much all forms of post-production. He used to be a DJ and worked at live events doing sound, but he always knew he wanted to be more involved than just playing music and making sure it sounds good. Sound design for film is the direction he’s heading in, and he cites The Matrix, Jurassic Park, Inception and The Avengers all as major influences in this decision. In the next 3 months he’ll be finishing up his degree, doing some final projects and then deciding whether he wants to keep his current job working on post for a TV network for American Muslims, or take a job offer at Bravo TV, or continue with the post production house. Regardless of what he decides, we are happy for all the opportunities in front of him.st in one's teaching are covered early in the seminars. | ||
