HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS – News & Updates


We have started a new semester…semester #7. Wow, we’re moving into year three and the program just keeps growing. This is going to be our largest class ever with 45 student/inmates.


This semester we’re going to be teaching the some additional classes. Yes, we’re continuing all of our classes relating to the Television and Motion Picture Industry, but we’ve discovered many of our guys who are both in this current class (over half) and those who have graduated are lacking basic typing and computer skills so… Cyndi and Scott are taking that on. They’ve begun teaching an (8) week class on typing and basic computer (Word, Excel, etc.) This should be interesting and the guys seem excited to learn something that will help them in the 21 Century job market.

HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS – News & Updates


June 3rd was HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS 2nd year anniversary… Also last week we celebrated our 6th graduation. This graduation was dedicated to our friend and HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS instructor Brandon Chandler who we lost on May 4th to Liver Cancer. Many funny and heart warming stories were shared by the speakers. Alumni Robert D. was this semester’s guest speaker. He shared some great wisdom to the class on how he continues to win his battle over drug addiction. Robert has now been out for over a year and half (Clean and sober for 2 years) and continues to do very well. He is now a supervisor at his job. Great job Robert! We’re so proud of you.


Congratulations to our graduating class. Next semester starts later this month…
