George Clooney, Grant Heslov, and Bryan Lourd partnered with the Los Angeles Unified School District to establish The Roybal Film and Television Magnet. Working with Smashcut and the Roybal School, they developed the INDSTRY Learning Studio.

The school’s mission is to build a more inclusive pipeline of historically underrepresented, career-ready students interested in the film and television industries. Below are segments from videos I produced to supplement the curriculum, featuring Hollywood cinematographers and gaffers.
