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

We just completed our semester #28 end of semester film project.   We decided to do something a little different this time… shoot a music video.  And it actually started a month before.   Our friend, co-worker and former student, Tony Mendoza did an incredible arrangement of the song AMAZING GRACE.   The first thing we had to do was pre-record the song.

We did this at a recording studio at 20th Century Fox.   Much thanks to them for helping us with this.

With the song completed, we set up to do the shoot in our classroom “sound stage” at South Facility.

The shoot went very well.  We had a little interruption with a 30-minute facility lock-down.  But it all still worked out great.

Thank you to 20th Century Fox Sound and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for making all of this possible.

Darryl did an outstanding job.   This in-depth class taught our students the proper way, the LACoFD way, of clearing brush for maximum fire prevention.

Thanks for Darryl, our chainsaw class was taught by F.S.A. Nathan Sotro, who was amazing.   He taught everything from the proper maintenance to the safe operation of a chainsaw.

Our class even got a demonstration from a real fire camp.   These guys were incredible.

This class was held over a two week period, was a lot of fun, we learned a ton and also had some great team building.   We hope our HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS FIRE PREVENTION TEAM can do their part to help make this fire season a little better than last years.

Fire Camp #7

Thank you to Mission College Re-Entry Hub for sending over Julio Catalan.   Our guys have already started working!   They just finished their third job; putting money in their pockets and making Santa Clarita a little safer against wildfires.   Much thanks to the County of Los Angeles 5th District, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and of course Retired Fire Captain Darryl Coe!
