Spotlight is our way of shining light on alumni who have excelled at their craft in the entertainment industry. Every year The L.A. Film School Spotlight Committee inaugurates a new class of alumni into The Spotlight Academy in a ceremony we call The Spotlight Awards.
The Academy
The Spotlight Academy pays tribute to the heart, the creative and the dedicated among The Los Angeles Film School’s alumni. Each year, Academy Inductees are honored for their unyielding commitment to excellence in their professional career and selfless contribution of time and connection to our students and community. It is with great privilege we shine a spotlight on these inspirational and exceptional individuals.
Shining the Spotlight
Oscar® winners, Emmy® winners, Grammy® winners, independent creatives, artists and more! Everyone in the Spotlight Academy has worked hard to get to where they are today in the entertainment industries. We are proud to celebrate them and all their accomplishments as alumni of The Los Angeles Film School!
