Joely Fisher is coming for the Hollywood Insider Series: Summer Edition tomorrow to talk to our teen students about her work in the industry!

A little more about Joely:

Joely Fisher is most prominently known for her work as Paige Clark on the sitcom “Ellen,” which earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination. She had a recurring role on “Desperate Housewives,” starred in Lifetime network’s drama series “Wild Card,” and can be seen in Fox’s recent series, “The Last Man Standing.” 

In addition to her work on film, Joely starred on Broadway in the revival of “Grease” and “Cabaret,” and also has experience directing for network television (Fox’s sitcom ‘Til Death). Currently, Joely is working on the upcoming film "Oliver Storm and the Curse of Sinbad’s Treasure," which she will direct this year.

Spend your summer vacation studying your craft in Los Angeles with real working professionals!

This December we will be offering a two week intensive for students from South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. While in Los Angeles, these students will have the opportunity to study acting, commercial dance, or film production!

We wish to arm the next-generation of content-creators with not only strong storytelling skills, but also the opportunity to work collaboratively in a project-based learning environment. 

We want our students to embrace the digital revolution and understand that true innovation requires delivery. Our workshops mission is to unleash the imagination and bring creative ideas to fruition – creating artists who are entrepreneurs – under expert mentorship and guidance!

8:15am Roll out of bed, turn off my alarm, and look out at the beautiful Los Angeles skyline. This. Is. My. Summer.

Only days earlier I was packing for my three week stay in LA. Now, instead of camping, tents, and bug spray, I’m focusing on my love of film by spending three weeks at the Relativity Workshops teen summer camp.

8:45am Arrive at Los Angeles Center Studios in downtown LA. Say hello to the rest of my friends and classmates while I find my bearings on one of Hollywood’s working production studios.

As I head towards the large Relativity glass doors, I realize that something exciting is filming on the lot today...could it be Gracie & Frankie or Girl Meets World?? The options are endless! Grip and electric crew members move in and out of production trucks, and a person from the Art department carries a large potted plant into the reception area. This campus is definitely buzzing with energy.

9:00am I say a couple more quick hellos before I check my schedule, and then it’s off to screenwriting. I’ve always wanted to be a writer/director, and I’m so excited to learn from someone who can help make my short film concept a reality!

10:45am So many ideas, so little time. I take a much needed break with my fellow film production classmates, and talk to them about what we have just learned!

11:00am Now that I know the basics, its time to take action. Only 2 hours to start writing my short film script! I’ve seen the painting we are using for inspiration...now to come up with a narrative concept....

12:45pm Mmm I’m starving. Thank goodness for lunch! Time to check in with the rest of the students in my program...what did Musical Theatre learn today...maybe I have time to help the actors practice their lines!

1:45pm Can anyone say three point-lighting?? This lighting class was so helpful. We’ve already started preparing for our silent short film projects, and I’ve got a lot of work to do! I think knowing this new setup will come in handy for me in the future.

3:45pm Hitchock shadow shot! Want me to teach you how to recreate it? Well, now I can, and by the end of this week, I will have shot my own black and white short film...and in a morgue no less!

5:30pm What a wonderful second day of classes. I cannot wait to come back tomorrow to learn more. I know technically the day is over, but I just cannot stop thinking about everything I learned today! Good thing I’m staying with the rest of my classmates in an apartment close to campus...I have a feeling we will continue to talk film over dinner and a movie later tonight!

Talk soon!

Our teen students were thrilled to meet Maria Conchita Alonso at our #hollywoodinsider series last week. She is a wonderful performer, a brilliant singer, and such a thoughtful philanthropist. We learned so much about making it in this industry, standing up for what you believe in, and following you dreams. We all hope to see her again very soon! 

This week we will be hosting Richard Hatem to our campus at Los Angeles Center Studios!
