Last week, the Hanson Film Institute was in Los Angeles with students from the UA Business of Entertainment Club. Drawing from the institute's network of contacts, we arranged meetings with UA alumni working in the music, independent film and streaming entertainment industries, and accompanied the students to meetings at Harvey Mason Media, Voltage Pictures and Netflix.
Our first stop was a visit to the studio of music producer Harvey Mason Jr. ('90), who produces songs for the likes of Justin Timberlake and Aretha Franklin, and whose many music film credits include Dreamgirls, Straight Outta Compton and Sing. Harvey was candid and inspirational as he shared his story and invaluable career tips with students.
