In Hollywood, 75% of blockbuster film crews are male. And in 88 years of the Academy Awards, a mere 4 women have been nominated for best director, with only one taking home the statue. If Hollywood isn’t inspiring women to pick up a camera and tell stories through their perspective, who is?

Matthew Waynee is the Cinematic Arts teacher at a magnet high school, MAE, in central Los Angeles (right around USC), and the majority of my students are minorities who come from low-socioeconomic households. Four years ago, they began their Cinematic Arts department from scratch, and now offer classes in Filmmaking 1, 2, & 3, Documentary Filmmaking, Animation, Music and Technology, Screenwriting, Broadcast Journalism, and Ad Design. (as well as many other media production classes).  Last year, Matt was awarded the National Magnet Teacher of the Year Award.
