Greetings!
We have just completed an "exceptional" first school year! Nine full-time students and four part-time students are well on their way toward a career in multi-media, computer animation and post production. With the help of an amazing staff, board and volunteers we have seen our students blossom socially as well as technically. Please be sure to visit our website and take a look at the exceptional work our students have completed.
Our school year ended in June with over 100 professionals, students, family and friends coming together for our Open House. The celebration included fantastic student presentations, an acknowlegement of Adobe Certification for Josh Dagg and a delicious reception organized by Mollie Burns-Keith and Mayi and Brian Brady. We were very excited to have Advisory Board member, Ed Asner, on hand to present Mike Kanfer of Adobe Systems, with an EM Appreciation Award. Our studio has never held so many guests or felt so warm.
Thank you to our students, staff, board members, families and volunteers for making this event, as well as our entire first year, so successful!
Sincerely, Yudi Bennett & Ernie Merlan
