"I learn best by doing. The administration and faculty also believe in a 'tactile'/hands-on approach...so much in fact, at times it is difficult to distinguish the 'student world' from the 'professional world' while working on projects here at the school. I'm starting to work in the industry now and I almost always prefer to work with fellow alumni. There is no doubt in my mind that in a few years time there will be several prominent production companies staffed with LAFS alumni. We know what we are doing.”

"As a veteran of the workforce, the Los Angeles Film School afforded me the opportunity to quickly apply the skills I already had attained in the corporate world to those I needed to acquire in the motion picture industry. With state-of-the-art equipment and facilities coupled with instruction from some of the most prolific and talented names in the business, I gained more knowledge and on-set experience than I could have during twelve months in any other film program or on actual film productions. After producing numerous projects during my tenure at the school, I have since moved on to produce two features films, manage a production company, head up development for a development company, and serve as a producing instructor at an esteemed Film School. None of this would have been possible without the education I received at the Los Angeles Film School."

“The L.A. Film School was a huge help during our production. We were able to use the school's 35mm Arri BL Evolution camera (and lots of grip equipment) to shoot our film, and we shot a lot of the interior scenes on the school's soundstage. We even managed to bring our camel on the soundstage to shoot our "camel shack" scene, much to the amusement of students, and eventually also to the faculty at the school. Even when we were out in the desert the school helped in a big way: our Cinematography teacher actually came out to the desert to give us advice during the shoot. We would recommend the L.A. Film School to anyone who wants to get real hands-on experience in filmmaking. Lots of schools sit you down in a classroom and tell you how to make films, but the L.A. Film School really teaches students practical knowledge in a hands-on environment while you are actually making films.”

Totally exceded my expectations, not just learning about shooting, but learning all trades of filmmaking.
