More than 60 Alumni from The L.A. Film School Worked on 28 different Emmy-nominated Productions

We are proud to announce our alumni’s contributions to this year’s Emmy-nominated productions. This is the largest group of alumni to represent TV productions across networks including last year’s breakout hit The White Lotus and this year’s thrilling fourth season of Stranger Things. Five alumni were personally nominated for outstanding cinematography, picture editing and production design, and will be competing for individual awards. This is one of our most exciting Emmy seasons, and we look forward to highlighting our talented alumni during the Emmy ceremony on Monday, September 12, 2022.
