Loyola Marymount University

A Los Angeles film school that teaches the whole craft in one place: animation, film and television production, screenwriting, recording arts and media studies, with graduate programmes in writing and producing. It runs on roughly 1,160 students, nine of them to a lecturer, and more than 400 companies taking its people on internships; by its own account, TheWrap ranks it the fifth film school in the country. Two of our speakers teach there: Meggie Miao, in the School of Film and Television since 2024, and Justin Trevor Winters, who lectures on screenwriting, directs the Innovators Film Festival and chairs the LMU AI Alliance.
