USC School of Cinematic Arts

The School of Cinematic Arts teaching philosophy is built on the understanding

that people learn best by doing. Additionally, we believe that great ideas arise

when theory and practice are in constant interaction, propelling one another

forward.

To this end, students work directly with professors who are leaders in the

industry and academia. Coming with a broad array of professional skills, many

of these women and men have won the top accolades of the art form, including

Oscars, Emmys, the Palme d’Or, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Humanitas Prize, to

mention but a few.

Another integral component of the SCA approach is for students, regardless of

their chosen area of specialization, to take a wide range of courses from across

the disciplines. Through this process critical studies majors get behind the camera

to make short films, writers direct actors to learn how to craft the best scripts,

and directors immerse themselves in the canon of work made by the generations

who came before.

The majority of the SCA classes take place in an atelier-like environment, with

small groups of undergraduates and graduates paired up with instructors,

researchers and teaching assistants. In addition to offering hands-on experience

with the latest technologies, working side-by-side also promotes a greater

sense of collaboration between the students and instructors. By encouraging a

free flow of knowledge and ideas, both student and teacher alike are inspired

to draw from each other’s experiences and input, resulting in novel, cutting-

edge film, television and interactive works.

our PHILosoPHYPREPARING LEADERS THROUGH HANDS-ON, COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE

When the University of Southern California included “Appreciation of the Photoplay”as part of its curriculum in 1929, USC leaders declared “Photoplay should beconsidered in any serious historical and scientific study of arts and sociology.”

Composed of six divisions and two Organized Research Units, the School of Cinematic Arts gives students

comprehensive exposure to all facets of film, television and interactive media production. This interdisciplinary

approach infuses undergraduates and graduates with a rich sense of possibility, inspiring them to push their

creative pursuits in directions they might not previously have considered. Additionally, exposure to elements

beyond their chosen areas of specialization also gives these men and women a deep understanding of how

their individual efforts are part of a much larger collaboration.

Over the course of its history, the program has

sought not merely to meet the needs of the

industry and art form, but to anticipate them

and play an active role in shaping the direction of

the field.

Throughout the 20th century and now into the 21st,

the school has established a long and venerated

our ImPactSTUDENTS, ALUMNI, FACULTY AND STAFF MAKE THEIR MARK, UNDERSCORING THE SCA MISSION STRENGTH

George Lucas ʼ66 and USC TrusteeSteven Spielberg cement theirlegacy outside Mannʼs ChineseTheatre on May 16, 1984.

As a sign of the schoolʼs impact, the top-17 grossing movies of all time have been created with USC alumni in key roles.Located in Los Angeles, the schoolʼs reach is world-wide: SCA instructors work with Hong Kong students during a summer workshop. Signing ceremony for the creation of the Red Sea Institute of CinematicArts; John Milius ʼ67 on location in Southeast Asia; middle-eastern students attend an SCA animation workshop in Annan, Jordan; Associate Professor Amanda Pope on a documentary shoot in Moscow.The school is the repository of collections from notable alumni and friends like Rick Carter, David L. Wolper ʼ49, Frank Sinatra, and Warner Bros.From student awards to Oscars, members of the SCA community hold some of the art formʼs highest accolades. Gary Rydstrom ʼ81 has a record-breaking seven Oscars; Conrad L. Hall ʼ50 won threeAcademy Awards; Ron Howard and Brian Grazer ʼ74 share multiple Emmy, Oscar and Golden Globe nominations and wins; Walter Murch with his two Oscars for The English Patient; John Singleton ʼ90was the first African-American nominated for a Best Director Oscar; John Wells ʼ82 won an impressive four Best Drama Emmy statuettes during the run of The West Wing.

The School of Cinematic Arts has long recognized the importance of diversity in

creating a vibrant art form and industry. Each year our six divisions attract dozens

of students from regions as disparate as Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa and

Oceania. Through collaborations with individual, corporate, and non-profit partners,

the school seeks to help women and men from diverse backgrounds prepare for

careers throughout the entertainment arts.

Among these partners and initiatives are:

• Bill and Camille Cosby—underwriters of the workshop series for aspiring

African-American screenwriters, and supporters of the Bill Cosby Summer Youth

Institute for Film & Television, an eight-week summer program for local high school

students enrolled in USC’s Neighborhood Academic Initiative.

• Creative Artists Agency—funds annual scholarships to provide opportunities for

under-represented groups in the entertainment industry.

• Electronic Arts, Inc.—establishers of the Electronic Arts Endowed Scholarship Fund

used to support, encourage, and educate new voices within the interactive entertainment

industry and assist students whose work in game development will further the interests

of under-represented populations in the interactive entertainment industry.

• The In2TV/Freddie Prinze Endowed Fund for Student Support—a gift from

AOL/Warner Bros. that provides scholarship assistance to students who help support,

encourage, and educate alternative views in television and build upon the legacy of

Freddie Prinze.

• The Courtney and Steven J. Ross Fellowship—scholarship assistance for economically

disadvantaged women students.

• The NAACP/CBS Fellowship—awarded to students who further the interests of

under-represented men and women in the entertainment industry. Recipients are also

mentored by CBS executives throughout their academic program and participate in

By the very nature of how they are created, the

cinematic arts are a highly collaborative effort,

with the success of an individual project directly tied

to the shared vision, determination and skills of the

teams behind them.

Located in the heart of Los Angeles, the School

of Cinematic Arts is uniquely positioned—both

geographically and programmatically—to capitalize

on this sense of community.

On any given day, top directors, actors, producers,

animators, writers, agents, scholars and others come

to campus to share their wisdom and experience with

the men and women who seek to follow in their

footsteps.

Likewise, leaders from across the film, television and

interactive realms help guide the school through

their participation on the SCA Board of Councilors

Council and the Alumni Development Council.

Numbering over 10,000 strong, our alumni form a

close-knit community both in Los Angeles and around

the globe. The bonds these women and men form

with their classmates often last a lifetime, and they

actively support new members of the Trojan family.

The school has also been proactive in assisting them,

through the creation of alumni job boards, career

seminar series, and networking events.

SCA is also actively engaged in building community

through numerous neighborhood outreach programs

to nurture members of the younger generations to

explore how the cinematic arts can profoundly alter

their futures.

Through their vision and generosity, individuals

and corporations alike have been integral in

enabling the School of Cinematic Arts to provide its

students with leading-edge facilities and technical

resources.

This assistance has fueled the development of the

school’s capital infrastructure, including instructional

buildings, soundstages, theaters, music scoring

stages, a digital arts center, and interactive research

laboratories. Donations for equipment have also

enabled us to outfit these complexes with industry-

standard production and post-production hardware

and software systems.

In supporting the school, individuals and companies

are making a direct investment in the future of

thousands of women and men, who leave SCA with

the technical and creative knowledge and experience

needed to propel the future of film, television and

interactive media to new heights.

Beyond direct support, named gifts also serve as a

source of inspiration and a permanent reminder

to the artists and scholars who will study at this

institution for generations to come. Day in and

day out, these students will gain their expertise in

facilities that bear the names of the individuals

and organizations who played leading roles in

developing the cinematic arts.

our aLLIancesCREATING A STATE-OF-THE-ART LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THROUGH DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIPS

Years of cinematic memories give way to new buildings and films duringdemolition of the old “stables” in 1982.

Dedicated in 2001, the Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts opened asthe countryʼs first and only fully digital filmmaking training facility.

On October 4, 2006, filmmaker George Lucas did more than

make history through the Lucasfilm Foundation’s $175 million

gift to the School of Cinematic Arts. He also set forth a bold

challenge to the community at large to support the school

today and ensure the future of the art form for generations

to come.

That challenge plays out on two vital fronts:

facilities construction and endowment.

Of the total gift, $75 million has been dedicated to erecting the

the new Cinematic Arts Complex. Beyond this generous initial

gift, and the $50 million given by other friends of the school,

the entire complex will require an additional $50 million to

finish. This funding will allow for a number of infrastructure

initiatives, including structures for Animation & Digital Arts,

production services, and soundstages.

The second part of the Lucas donation, pledged at $100 million,

is dedicated to endowment. Such funds are vital to securing

the long-term viability of any institution. In 1991 the school's

endowment stood at some $6 million. Since then, Cinematic

Arts supporters have generously contributed to this initiative,

raising our balances to $47 million in received funds, with

another $113 million in pledges. Together, that $160 million

puts the school over three quarters of the way toward achieving

its $200 million endowment goal. Through prudent

management, the annual yield from this fund profoundly

impacts the school on multiple fronts. Students enjoy enhanced

academic and production support; faculty and staff have been

bolstered; facilities, equipment, and technology are kept at

top-notch; and alumni receive guidance and support as they

transition from their academic to career pursuits.

The success of any cinematic arts endeavor—film, television,

and interactive—stems not from the acts of a single person,

but rather through the contributions of the greater community.

In making their gifts to USC, supporters have set the school

firmly on its course and created an incredible opportunity for

others to be part of this extraordinary institution in the 21st

century and beyond.

Recognized nationally and internationally as a superb environment for the study and practice of

film, television, and interactive media, the School of Cinematic Arts draws thousands of students,

alumni, industry professionals, academics and other visitors to Los Angeles each year.

2009 marked the opening of the first part of the Cinematic Arts Complex, comprised of the

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg buildings. These two main buildings rise above a sweeping

courtyard named in honor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which partnered

with the university in 1929 to begin the USC cinema program.

On the lower level of both buildings is the post-production area, including sound dubbing stages,

editorial labs and classrooms, and ADR and Foley stages. The first floor of the complex features a

grand 200-seat theatre, as well as two digital theatres and a combination screening room/sound

dub stage. Both the Lucas and Spielberg buildings have large open lobby areas named for cinema

greats, Mary Pickford and Harold Lloyd, respectively.

Level two of the complex houses the Interactive Media Division, the offices for the Summer Program

and Student-Industry Relations, and features two screening rooms, five classrooms, a graduate

student lounge and numerous rooms for student group meetings. Offices for the Production,

Critical Studies, and Writing divisions, as well as the Peter Stark program, are all housed on the

third level. Two more screening rooms are on the third floor, along with several informal

gathering areas for students and faculty. The office of the dean, as well as production faculty

and external relations, can be found on the fourth floor.

The rest of the complex is comprised of the Student Services and Animation & Digital Arts building,

the Production Services building and two additional structures with two studio-sized soundstages

in each. The construction and utilization of these new spaces, combined with our existing facilities,

ensure that the School of Cinematic Arts will continue to build on its foundation as the finest

educational institution devoted to the art of storytelling.

our FacILItIesSTATE-OF-THE-ART COMPLEX SETS THE PACE FOR FILM, TELEVISION, AND INTERACTIVE MEDIA STUDIES

Since its beginning, the School of Cinematic Arts has been looking to the future, alwaysexpanding its facilities, classes, divisions and staff. At the same time, we incorporatethe latest technologies, theories and ideas to encourage new projects that willentertain, insipire and educate for generations to come.
