ALUMNI NETWORK
"When you go to the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, you become a lifelong member and participate in a very unique tradition. Family. One that proudly claims some of the world’s most legendary storytellers, scholars, industry leaders, mavericks and creative minds. I remember well the influences on me as a student, greats like Arthur Ripley, Dorothy Arzner and Alexander Mackendrick. Upon graduation you will join this great heritage as you pursue your career. Being part of our remarkable Alumni community is an exciting experience.”
— Francis Ford Coppola MFA ’67
Our impact cannot be overstated. And neither can our influence.
The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television is a creative force recognized the world over. Our students, faculty and alumni showcase their work at premier festivals and research conferences around the globe year after year, and win awards spanning every medium, platform and discipline. As a result, the world looks to us for the talent that is the lifeblood of the entertainment and performing arts industries today, and the thought leadership and cutting-edge research that provide the road map for where we’re going tomorrow.
In addition to our robust TFT Alumni Network which spans all facets of the entertainment and performing arts industry across the globe, we are proud to announce our newest association: The TFT New Young Alumni Network.
Upon graduation, every member of the graduating class becomes a member of this new organization which focuses on the critical first years 1-5 after graduation. The emphasis is on helping our newest alums make the transition into the industry with real world knowledge and contacts through a host of value added programs such as networking and mentoring programs with established TFT alums, special screenings, plays, initiatives with studios, professional transition and festival workshops with industry and festival leaders, and other social activities designed to foster a pay forward vibrant community of alums connecting with and helping one another throughout their careers. We believe that one person's success is everyone's success.
