our mIssIon
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 in-
dustry 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 Palm 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.

our PHILosoPHYPREPARING LEADERS THROUGH HANDS-ON, COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE
Ever since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences and the University of Southern California
teamed up in 1929 to establish the nation’s first
university-based film studies program, USC has set
the pace for film theory and practice.
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
record of leadership.

cluding Dartmouth College, the University of Texas, Austin as
well as in Asia, Africa and Australia.
• Over 200 festivals each year feature our student films, television
programs and interactive media projects.
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-10 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 industryʼs best share their knowledge with cinema students: Alfred Hitchcock, circa 1968; Hugh Hefner, sponsor of the “Censorship in Media” class; John Cassavettes and Gena Rowlands visit the 466 class withArthur Knight; Ray Harryhausen explains some of the tricks behind Jason and the Argonauts; Scott Alexander ʼ85 and Larry Karaszewski ʼ85 reminisce about their days at USC.The cinema family gets together to celebrate and help: Andrew Marlowe ʼ92 (L) and Jeff Davis ʼ00 (R) join Dean Elizabeth M. Daley and Alumni Coordinator Justin Wilson for First Pitch; Randal Kleiser ʼ68, GeorgeLucas ʼ66, Bryan Singer ʼ89 and John Milius ʼ67 celebrate the Alfred Hitchcock Chair Endowment; the Peter Stark mafia commemorate 25 years of “Starkies.”Our interests and talents extend from television to new media, from books to film, and cover everything from entertainment to education.SCA alumni play a role in all facets of the art form: producer Laura Ziskin ʼ73; an array of USCʼs most famous and awarded cinematographers; producers Jennifer Todd ʼ87 and Suzanne Todd ʼ86; director Jay Roach ʼ86(R) on the set of Meet the Parents; writer John August ʼ92 visiting Leonard Maltinʼs 466 class.
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 videogame 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
an internship at the NAACP Hollywood Bureau.
• The Gary Cooper Endowed Fund for Student Support—established by Cooper’s
daughter Maria Cooper-Janis in honor of her father’s passionate interest in American
Indians, their culture, life, beliefs, and traditions. This fund furnishes financial
assistance for American Indian students.

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,
the Television Advisory Council and the Alumni
Development Council.
Numbering some 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 is dedicated to erecting the primary
elements of the new Cinematic Arts Complex. Beyond this
generous initial funding, the 137,000-square-foot complex will
require an additional $25 million to finish, furnish and bring it
fully online by the December 2008 target completion date.
These funds are essential to a broad range of infrastructure
initiatives including screening rooms, production suites,
collaboration spaces, classrooms, offices, and the central
plaza café.
The second part of the Lucas donation, pledged at $100 million,
is dedicated to endowment. Endowment funds are vital to securing
the long-term viability of any institution. Prior to the Lucas gift,
Cinematic Arts supporters generously contributed to the
endowment, raising it from $6 million in 1991 to some $50
million in 2006. The $100 million Lucasfilm commitment will
bring that figure to $150 million, putting the school nearly
three-quarters of the way toward its overall $200 million
endowment goal. Through prudent management, the annual
yield from this fund will profoundly impact the school on
multiple fronts. Students will enjoy enhanced academic and
production support; faculty and staff activities will be
bolstered; facilities, equipment and technology will be kept
at top-notch; and alumni will 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 his gift to USC, George Lucas has 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.
The current facilities on the USC campus have served the cinematic arts community well over the
course of the past quarter century. From animators to producers, directors to writers, cultural
theorists to new media artists, each year our students and faculty create over 250 hours of film
and television, along with scores of interactive projects, rivaling the output of many commercial
counterparts.
The past 25 years have also marked a time of phenomenal growth, both from a technological as
well as a programmatic vantage point. The 35,000-square-foot Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital
Arts opened in 2001 and we added new divisions in producing, writing, animation & digital arts,
and interactive media. We created new degrees, including two at the undergraduate and three
at the graduate level, in addition to four minors. We hired new faculty, many of whom are
holders of the school’s record-breaking 13 endowed chairs.
Occupancy in the existing instructional complex is currently at 120 percent of the original capacity.
Shortages in classrooms mean students have to take courses in non-cinema facilities scattered
throughout the USC campus. A lack of offices compels up to six adjunct instructors to share a single
room. Student projects place tremendous demand on soundstages and other production areas.
The 137,000-square-foot Cinematic Arts facility seeks to address these limitations head on,
providing ample space for creativity and community. In doing so, 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 TO SET THE PACE FOR FILM, TELEVISION, AND INTERACTIVE MEDIA STUDIES
Since its begining, 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.
