“Our students get to premiere their films in the same place that stars like Clint Eastwood premiere theirs,” said assistant professor Jesse Negron, MFA, assistant professor. Thanks to the close proximity, the Department of Cinematic Arts, along with other programs in the College of the Arts, holds an annual Industry Spotlight at Warner Bros. “Being plugged into the places you want to work in Hollywood is invaluable.” “Internship opportunities here are through the roof,” said Zach Cheney, PhD, assistant professor of Screen Studies. APU Cinematic Arts students have interned at Disney, CBS Television, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Scott Free Productions, and a number of other top entertainment organizations. Located just 30 miles outside of Hollywood, APU’s proximity to the film industry offers students opportunities they couldn’t get outside of Southern California. Many factors go into this top cinematic arts program including its location next to the entertainment business, its unique opportunity for students to start making films as freshman, its industry-standard software and hardware, its industry experienced faculty, and its small class size providing individualized attention.

For students who dream of becoming filmmakers, Azusa Pacific University is the perfect place to be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the industry.
