EBMS @ Full Sail


My experience of the Entertainment Business Masters course at Full Sail University is hard to describe in one word. It has been a struggle, it has been fun, and at some points it got kind of weird, but the program as a whole was a blast. I was able to meet people from around the world, and really get to know them as a friend and not just as another classmate. We started out the program in August of 2011 with about 25 people in the class. Fast-forward to today and you can see clearly that our class has dwindled down to the few who stuck it out and gave it all they could. Every single person that was in my class came from all different walks of life. Having taken a Bachelors degree at Full Sail as well, I can definitely say that the masters program is completely different. Not only was my graduating class smaller, but also I felt that we were much closer because of it. Advanced Entertainment Law helped me gain more knowledge about what goes into contracts and other forms of legal documents. The instructor was supremely knowledgeable about the subject and guided me through the course to better understand the legal side of the entertainment industry. Having an interest in becoming a producer and opening my own company, this class really brought to light the issues and trials you must over come when starting a business from scratch. This course has helped me truly understand what it takes to start a business and what trials you must overcome. I might not be starting my company any time soon, but I feel that the information I have gained in the past twelve months is extremely beneficial towards what I want to accomplish with my life. If you are looking to broaden your knowledge of the entertainment business and have a once in a lifetime experience, then Full Sail’s Entertainment Business Masters is where you belong.

The Dark Knight Rises


Christopher Nolan never ceases to amaze me with his incredible visual talent to bring such an iconic comic book character into today’s world. If you haven’t had a chance to see The Dark Knight Rises, then I highly suggest you do so immediately.
