Take a peek at our Longhorns in LA! Last week, UTLA students helped welcome new @UTAustin students to the Longhorn community by enjoying time poolside in Beverly Hills with @TEXASMoody Interim Dean @RDMersey!🌴😎

A screenwriter for films including "Shazam!," @HenryGayden shared some great advice with us. He says that when you ask people to read your script, make sure it's really good and "the one." Thanks for stopping by, Henry!

We were thrilled to welcome screenwriter and UT alum @HenryGayden to UTLA over the weekend for a Q&A with our summer students!🤘

Kicking off the summer with a tour of the iconic Warner Bros. Studios! We were thrilled to explore some iconic sets on the backlot like the Gilmore Girls gazebo and Friends Central Perk coffee shop, and even ran into UTLA alum and now @warnerbros employee, Emily Koller!

#Spring2023: UTLA students recently attended a @JimmyKimmelLive taping where guests included Molly Shannon and Giancarlo Esposito!   Many thanks to Dyan Kellison, @UTAustin alum and longtime Jimmy Kimmel Live! talent booker, for welcoming us!

Last week we had a watch party with UTLA alum and Production Supervisor Beatriz Chahin! We watched episode 207 of @nbc and @UniversalTV 's sitcom #GrandCrew and asked her all about how the show gets made. Thank you, Bea!!

If you're an alum in LA and want to volunteer to do Mock Interviews, please reach out!

"Tell me about yourself" = What makes you unique? + What do you bring to the table? + Why this job/company? + Where do you want to be, big picture? And your response should be short. 2-3 minutes, max. Write it out, rehearse, and edit it down for efficiency!

Did you know there's a UTLA Mock Interview Program? Every semester alumni do fake job interviews to prep students. Our #1 interview tip: be prepared for "tell me about yourself!" Sounds easy enough, but it can be one of the trickiest & most important parts of the interview...

A quick visit to Netflix Animation! UT alumna Stevi Carter (VP of Development) gave us a behind the scenes tour and the inside scoop. A piece of advice? Be nice! This industry is small. 😁

Think UTLA is just for @TEXASMoody students? Think again! Open to all students, regardless of major, UTLA is for Longhorns interested in exploring the entertainment industry. Learn more about the program at an upcoming info session: bit.ly/utlaspring24
