Talking shop with alumni who work in the entertainment industry is one of our favorite things to do. It's refreshing to hear their candid stories about breaking into the business. Sometimes it's an anecdotal story about engineering a successful track and other times it's a deeper conversation about overcoming setbacks. There's always a piece of solid career advice that our students can take away from these virtual discussions. In case you missed any of our Black History Barrier Breaker LIVE events, here are the highlights from those chats.

We faced an immeasurably difficult year here at home and abroad. With the coronavirus pandemic stretching across the globe, we transitioned our daily routines for the health and safety of one another. We leaned into our creative nature as educators and relied heavily on technology to stay connected virtually at The Los Angeles Film School and The Los Angeles Recording School, a division of L.A. Film School. Our students and alumni continued to find new ways to collaborate and create in a virtual environment.
