Faye Dunaway, Kimberly Peirce and Paul Verhoeven are recognized throughout the world for their distinguished achievements in the entertainment industry. "Personally, I'm thrilled," said the school's president. "Here are three heroes of contemporary cinema; all three are risk-takers, all three make films that we take apart in our classes to see how they work. Kim I've known for years - we were roommates our first year of film-school - and we've all gotten to know Faye in the months she spent here at the school as our first Visiting Artist. Also, Paul has just been a hero of mine since I first saw Robocop. His recent class here at the school was like his films; very thoughtful, electric, exciting and fiercely argued. It makes us all proud that they've endorsed this place and what we do." The Los Angeles Film School's Advisory Board now has12 world-renowned active members.
