CINEMA

What's New?
Envision Cinema Conservatory students just completed a documentary project that focused on social justice topics in a partnership with the San Diego Film Festival and the San Diego Film Foundation's Focus on Impact program. The students' films were approved and critiqued by film festival representatives and Thomas Morgan, the producer of the documentary Storied Streets. Conservatory members have just begun a new narrative film project, and seniors are working on the first ever Cinema Conservatory senior showcase featuring four independent senior films coming in May. All of the 2017-2018 Cinema Conservatory films will be showcased in the CCA Film Festival on Friday, May 18th at 7pm in the Proscenium Theatre. Students are also submitting their films to film festivals around the globe.

Both will air in 2019. Grillo-Marxuach's career in television spans over twenty years, with credits including popular hits like MediumCharmed, and The Pretender, critically acclaimed series including Boomtown, and The 100, and cult shows like The PretenderThe  ChronicleJake 2.0The Shannara ChroniclesHelix, and seaQuest. Javier Grillo-Marxuach was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico; his name is pronounced "HA-VEE-AIR GREE-JOE MARKS-WATCH". 

Javier will describe the path he followed in establishing a successful, productive, and influential career that has garnered top industry accolades including an Emmy and Writer’s Guild Award. He will also provide encouragement and inspirational advice for parents of future filmmakers. The lessons he will impart should make for a lively discussion.
