Apprentices in Action
Shot from The American Dream
Film Connection apprentices
Hakym Reagan and
Blake Laitner’s short film
The American Dream recently premiered at the
5th Street Avenue Cinema in Portland, Oregon! Co-written by Hakym and Blake, directed and edited by Hakym, this film explores the choices a man makes in his life, the trajectory that sets him on, and the path towards finding his truth. Congrats to both of you! Check out the film’s trailer in Apprentice Media below!
Gino Tha Pharaoh
Recording Connection master’s student
Gino Claiborne (aka
Gino Tha Pharaoh) just released his first full-length EP entitled
GTP1. Not only is Gino the artist, but he also wrote, engineered, and produced the entire project and from start to finish! He says the experience was definitely a challenge, but
“ultimately came together just as I thought it would. I’m still going through my master’s program at Metro 37 (Detroit, MI) and I’m growing as an engineer…I’m very blessed.” Preview
GTP1 in the Apprentice Media section below! The full EP is available
here.
Rodion Borisov
Film Connection apprentice
Rodion Borisov just wrapped work on a bustling film set. Originally set to P.A., he quickly got moved up to cue card assistant. Speaking of the experience, Rodion says,
“I was lucky to work on set with an above line crew, as I got a role of cue card assistant on the first day. On the second day, I got a chance to assist Eric Roberts personally, even though, I arrived to the US on 04/09/14 almost without any second language communication ability. I have learned English at a Redondo Beach school for eight months, and now, I am entrusted with personally assisting a famous actor, who has his name on more than 300 movies… Which is pretty crazy!” Congrats on a job well done Rodion!
