OUTSTANDING TELEVISION AND FILM PRODUCTION TRAINING California State University, Northridge (Los Angeles) Students at Cal State Northridge’s Cinema and Arts department can take advantage of the school’s extensive relationships with studios, networks and production companies to gain access to internships and jobs, and tap into experienced faculty members who belong to organizations such as the Directors Guild of America, Writers Guild of America, Producers Guild of America and the American Society of Cinematographers. They can also congregate with other student filmmakers and film enthusiasts at the CSUN Cinematheque, a screening program in the Elaine and Alan Armer Screening Room, a 130-seat motion picture theater on campus that is the only venue of its kind in the San Fernando Valley. Opportunities for collaboration abound. -- Movie Maker Magazine
