What Our Alumni Say

“I love this program and the people who run it! Without the program's instruction and ability to see young people as potential creatives with valuable opinions, I likely wouldn't get to make films and commercials for a living today.”

Matt Morgan Co-Founder, Yacht Club Productions — Kamp Hollywood Alum, 2005-2008

“Kamp Hollywood gave me the opportunity to find my passion in producing. I learned all the film lingo and experienced the process of making a movie, but most importantly I learned how to collaborate as a member of a team.”

Shannon Cloud Key Assistant Location Manager, Paramount TV Studios — Kamp Hollywood Alum, 2010-2013

“Please never stop doing this camp. It was the reason I discovered my life's work. It makes a real difference.”

Andrew Disney Feature Film Director signed with CAA — Kamp Hollywood Alum, 2005-2008
