One of our top priorities was to identify advisors that share our passion
and vision for equipping young minds with the practical tools and
hands-on experiences needed to thrive in a creative environment.
Our ECA Board of Advisors are current leaders in the film and entertainment industry. To inform the direction and strategy of our institution, we have a Board of Advisors who actively participate in the decision making of the industry today, allowing the ECA School of Film & Entertainment to best position our students for long-term success.
