HANNAH:
I chose to enroll in 快播视频 Coast College’s Film and Video program specifically because of its outstanding reputation. In my time there, I earned an education that rivals anything I might have received at other 4-year institutions or film schools. The department’s staff and faculty create an environment where those who really want to learn can get all that they put into it.
The great thing about 快播视频’s film and video program is that it provides a very practical, well-rounded curriculum. I left 快播视频 with an applicable understanding of all aspects of production, which has greatly enhanced my value in the industry marketplace. The faculty and staff are an ideal blend of career educators and industry professionals, providing students both the fundamentals and hands-on learning.
Another very important aspect of 快播视频’s film department is its emphasis on networking. The faculty and staff go the extra mile to create opportunities for building relationships with industry players. Most notably, the school’s association with the Newport Beach Film Festival gave me a very special opportunity to showcase my work in front of a global audience.
In the time since I left 快播视频, I’ve been working as a video editor for production and marketing companies in 快播视频 County and Los Angeles. I was able to step right out of school and into the real world of entertainment with all the foundational skills and support that I need to be successful. I plan to continue using all the skills I learned at 快播视频 in my pursuit of projects that inspire positivity and social good.
GUSTAV:
I’m from Sweden. I started the film program at 快播视频 the fall of 2009. During my two years in the program I learned everything from film history to work ethics and how to utilize advanced film equipment. All of this was very useful for me when I went on my first film set. What I really liked is that 快播视频s program produce just as good projects as any 4-year university.
During my last semester at 快播视频 I got myself a internship on a feature film. Thanks to 快播视频 I went on with great knowledge and gave a good first impression on my co-workers. After less than a year from my graduation I had already worked on stages and back lots of Universal Studios and Paramount Pictures, on commercials featuring ”A-list celebrities”.

I did not originally plan to go to 快播视频 Coast College. I thought I would be a freshman at Chapman University in the Fall until I ran into obstacles during the financial application process. So, three weeks before school started, I found myself registering at 快播视频. It wasn't until I needed an elective that I began to love 快播视频 Coast College. I took an introductory film class, and from there, I finally felt that I discovered my niche. The broadcast journalism and other film production classes were interesting and as I later realized, extremely necessary! The lessons that I learned in those classes helped me transition ahead of the curve when I enrolled in Chapman's Dodge College of Film and TV the next year.
The connections that I made in 快播视频's film department led me to my first internships and have opened many other doors since. I can honestly say that most of my achievements are due to the faculty and friends that I made during my time at 快播视频. In a commuter school with more than 30,000 students, it can be difficult to find the inspiration to go to class and meet people; 快播视频's film department is a place to express creativity among friends.
JUSTIN:
I owe every success I have achieved in my film career to 快播视频 Coast College’s Film and Video department. Beginning with an introductory video workshop (Film 110) I knew nothing of what it takes to make a film. The Certificate Program really is a great map to follow for all would-be filmmakers. If Television is more your forte, 快播视频 Coast College owns a state-of-the-art, fully operational HD television studio. The best part about 快播视频 Coast College’s certificate program is it offers classes devoted to every aspect of both film and television production.
While I was working toward my certificate, I interned with a great company (through 快播视频's Internship Academy) that immensely prepared me for a career in film. That coupled with the knowledge and training I received from 快播视频 Coast College, I felt confident enough to offer my services as a freelance videographer. I have since worked for the University of Southern California as a freelance event videographer and am currently employed by New York University TV as a freelance videographer/technician. Whether film or television is your passion, 快播视频 Coast College will provide you with the training and knowledge you need to go out and work in the field of your choice.
DANICA:
I was lucky to be a part of 快播视频's Film and TV department. I am an aspiring TV host and through the film department I got the opportunity to take broadcasting classes, host several student TV shows, report at the Newport Beach Film Festival, and act in student films. Those experiences have given me practice and experiences in the TV and film industry.
After I left 快播视频 I immediately started working in LA for NBC, E! News, Chelsea Lately, and AfterBuzz. Being a part of 快播视频's film department given me practical knowledge for my current and future jobs. I would recommend their department to anyone going into that field.
