Students put it all into practice in "mock-interviews" with industry professionals. Taught by Emmy nominated Writer/Producer and ASU alum, Howard Burkons.

NETWORKING AND THE TRADES

Additionally, each instructor will bring guest industry professionals to their module to further this enriching experience. And on the final day, the Boot Camp ends with a Hollywood Sun Devil Mixer in which you will mingle with ASU alums as well as industry pros, putting what you’ve learned to good use! Instructor for this class is TBD.
