HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS – IN-JAIL PROGRAM – News & Updates

We had a terrific semester #27 “End of Semester Shoot” last month.  For those who may be new to this blog, at the end of each 12 week semester, we bring in a ton of grip, electric, sound, and camera equipment along with a lot of our Hollywood professionals friends.  All of whom volunteer to work with our students to help them build a set and produce a half-hour program.  You can see some of our past ones on our YouTube Channel.

This semesters shoot was of a radio podcast from our Straight & Narrow program.  Three of our guys, Charlie, Matthew & Tony, all of whom have been out for a long time, give advice on how to stay out of jail /prison and how to stay clean and sober.
