🌟 What an exciting day yesterday at Motion Picture Technical High School! We were thrilled to welcome Ms. Fallon Ward from the Louisiana Academy of Production, our sister school under the Roybal Film & Television Production Fund partnership. 🎥✨ @laap_br @roybalfilmandtv
Ms. Ward visited our classrooms to witness the “movie” magic happening every day with our founding 9th-grade filmmakers. Our students had the incredible opportunity to hear from her and the team from The New Schools Facility Partners, who shared insights on the amazing bicoastal collaboration between all #INDSTRY partnering Film & CTE schools. Together, we’re all focused on empowering the next generation of filmmakers and industry professionals! 🌎🎬
