Testimonials
“As an entertainment lawyer in Colombia it’s essential for me to gain up-to-date information on trends in the US legal system and business environment, to meet with colleagues abroad, and to create collaborations. My professional experience with the LATC US audiovisual industry program in L.A. was terrific.”
“As the only participant from New Zealand in the 2015 LATC US Film Industry Program in Los Angeles, I was honored to represent my country. It was a highly rewarding personal and professional experience which yielded concrete results for my film projects, and also generated multiple contacts through networking with industry professionals in the AFM, and in our own LATC group.”
“LATC created a unique program on the US audiovisual industry in L.A., in which I participated several years ago, and the BNDES has regularly enrolled members of its staff from the Culture, Entertainment and Tourism Dept. in the program.”
“I am very impressed with the LATC programs in which I participated, both the Film Business School and two editions of the Los Angeles Intensive Industry Program. These programs had an important influence on my career and orientation of my company.”
