The residency program, conceived by Professor William McDonald, vice chair for production, is sponsored by the Kodak Worldwide Student Program.
Admission is free and open to the public.
He is in the midst of creating an impressive body of work that is making an indelible impression on young filmmakers in every part of the world. All of our students, including writers, directors and cinematographers, will benefit from this program. The Kodak Worldwide Student Program provides a wide range of support for film schools, including scholarships, film grants and discounts, mentoring programs, and educational materials. McDonald says that UCLA intends to appoint a new resident cinematographer annually to enrich the curriculum by giving students in-depth access to filmmakers who have made a seminal impact on advancing the art form. Last year, Allen Daviau, ASC, completed a residency.
