“I think the college tours were so good—I definitely had a great time and enjoyed it a lot. I think it benefited me because it gave me ideas about where to apply and what to look forward to if I were to get into one of the colleges. The colleges had some very good presentations, and it’s tricky to decide what I liked best! But they were all very wonderful, and I loved them all. I’m very grateful I got this opportunity!” Ty, 14

“During my college tours of UCLA, USC, AFI, and Cal State LA’s film schools, I learned a lot about what it takes to study film and all the cool opportunities these schools offer. Each school had its own vibe, but they all had amazing facilities and resources for students who want to make movies. At UCLA and USC, I was really impressed by how connected they are to the film industry, giving students chances to work on real projects. AFI stood out to me because it focuses a lot on helping students create their own stories after college, and Cal State LA showed me how important diversity is in film, which made me feel really inspired.” - Marli, 15
