About Andrew
Why did you choose this program?
I had an interest in the multimedia world and decided this was the best fit for me.
How did this program prepare you for your job?
Knowing the general skills of the film world, but also networking with others.
What did you enjoy most about the program?
The small class sizes. We were not much of a class but rather a family. We got to know each other and our lives. Even the teachers got to know you, making it easy to approach them when you had questions. Of course, playing with literal film is a really cool skill to have under your belt. Now I work with a company that has one of the last in-state film labs.
What would you say to prospective students who are thinking about applying to this program?
Majoring in film, Cal Poly Humboldt has small class sizes that make studying easy while getting one-on-one with professors and lecturers. The surrounding area has incredible views that you cannot get anywhere else. Redwood forests, mountains, and beaches are all within a few miles of each other. These are great to have while trying to tell any genre of story when you shoot your film projects. Even though Humboldt is very secluded from any major city, it's a nice way to escape and study for any subject. Just don't forget to grab your umbrella when you come and visit.
