Youth Media Tour
In 2010, the LA SKINS FEST initiated the MEDIA YOUTH TOUR. This program entails Native American youth visiting movie studios, television networks and film schools in Los Angeles, California. In our inaugural year, we hosted a tour of NBC/UNIVERSAL and the George Lucas School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. At NBC/UNIVERSAL, professionals spoke with the participants about job preparation, they viewed new shows from NBC’s television department, and they toured the studio lot. At USC, the participants visited the film school, faculty spoke with them about scholarships, and they received a hands on demonstration with production equipment.
2011 YOUTH MEDIA TOUR WAS AWESOME!
On May 6th, 2011 Sherman Indian High School students visited SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA. It was a great day of lectures, video presentations, and an incredible tour of their studio. The students learned everything about video game development, design, programming and production. Sony opened their doors and made us feel at home.
