HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS - News & Updates

We're proud to announce that our second semester class has graduated. We started with 36 student/inmates and after twelve weeks only (8) remained. But we're very proud of those (8). As in our first semester we gave out scholarships from Mole-Richardson Lighting, The Mostin Family and 20th Century Fox Animation. We also gave (2) writing prizes for best short screenplay.


Congratulations Class 10-09!

HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS - News & Updates

We just shot our second episode of ABOVE THE LINE (an education series for use in the classroom). Again, as in the first semester, our student/inmates operated the Hi-Def cameras, set up the lights, put together the set... everything! They did a great job. Our special guest speaker for this episode was Chad Everett. He had a lot of wisdom for our class. Thank you so much Chad!

HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS - "Wish List"

"Wish List" is a new column for the blog. We feel we should put out a wish list of things HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS needs and see what God does.

We are looking for "a space" outside the jail to hold classes, meetings, Bible study, etc. This space could be vacant building, house or store front that we could lease for $1.00/year. It could even be a piece of land where we can put a trailer. Basically we're looking for a home for HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS anywhere in the great Los Angeles County area.

Second, one of graduates is in need of a car. Nothing fancy, just a good transportation vehicle to help him with work.

HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS - News & Updates

Wow, it's hard to believe but we're almost finished with our second semester. Graduation is just around the corner. We started out with (36) inmate/students but only have(8) remaining. Some were "early releases" and many were "rolled up" (kicked out of the MERIT Program). But we trust God in all this. We're so proud of these guys that have made it through these 12 weeks. They're the cream of the crop. They've shared with us how much God has moved in their lives.

It is exciting to share this photo of one of our alumni from our very first semester. He's doing great! "Mas" helped us out on a camera test at Fox a couple of weeks ago. He did a great job and worked very hard. He was beaming all day.



Keep up the good work, Mas!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

All of us at HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS want to wish you a very Happy New Year. We're looking forward to see what God does with this Ministry in 2010!
