The UCLA TFT New Voices Showcase presents a curated evening of filmed performances featuring graduating actors and filmmakers from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television. Hosted by TFT alumnus Daniel J Kim (Cobra Kai, K-Pop Demon Hunters, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Bel-Air), the screening highlights the creative collaboration between actors and directors, showcasing the range, craft, and distinct artistic voices emerging from UCLA’s next generation of performers and filmmakers.

This special industry presentation offers an exclusive first look at rising talent across performance and directing, as these artists step into the professional field. The showcase features a series of short monologues and scenes crafted to highlight both the actor’s work and the director’s storytelling perspective.

Following the screening, guests are invited to a reception with the actors and filmmakers—an opportunity for meaningful connection, alumni engagement, and conversation with emerging collaborators across disciplines. *By invitation only*
