What people say about Up Light Academy...

Adriana joined ULA and launched her producing career!

Adriana broke down complex producing steps and is now on track to produce her first million-dollar feature!

I enrolled in Up Light Academy because I wanted a step-by-step guidebook on how to be a film/TV producer—and it exceeded my expectations.

My favourite courses were “Chain of Title” and “Legal Eagles” because they took intimidating, complex topics and broke them down into digestible, understandable information.

In addition to the excellent course videos, what really made ULA stand out for me was the opportunity to meet with Caitlin in my one-on-one session. Not only is Caitlin warm and fun to talk to, but she is also highly skilled and genuinely excited to be a mentor. I could feel her enthusiasm radiating throughout our session. As I continue with the program and prepare to produce my first million-dollar feature in the spring, I already feel equipped with the skills to back myself up—and I know I have a cheerleader in my corner who truly wants me to succeed. Caitlin is the mentor I didn’t know I needed.

I would recommend ULA to anyone who wants to demystify the role of being a film producer. I also believe it would be incredibly beneficial to aspiring filmmakers, so they can educate themselves on all the work that happens behind the scenes.

Caitlin and her team have done a stellar job with ULA, and I’m so grateful to be one of the first students to go through this program!

Caitlin, Thank you for your frank and direct talk about the local film landscape last night in our film class. Your advice to new actors on how to present themselves is invaluable! You’ve set me in motion, and I will see you in the future. Thanks

After almost a decade working as a Tech in the film industry, I've finally decided to make the leap into producing and directing. The Up Light Academy experience was the piece I was missing. It has bridged the gap between my creative approach and the seemingly intimidating business side of film production.  From budgeting and creating pitch decks to platforms for robust communication with a network of peers. The Up Light Academy has and continues to be an extremely valuable resource for me.  I recommend anyone interested in working in the film and television industry to participate in this potent platform.
