Hosted at Occidental College, one the oldest and most beautiful college campuses in the West, SOCAPA's Summer Programs in Los Angeles take advantage of the natural landscape and entertainment value of its surroundings, the heart of the filmmaking world.  

Students stay in the newly renovated and air conditioned dormitory and enjoy most meals in the Marketplace dining hall. After a full day of classes and production, students enjoy an evening visiting the Walk of Fame, Warner Brothers and Universal Studios, or the boardwalk and amusement park in Santa Monica. Students enjoy the sunshine and beautiful scenery while following their passion in their chosen art.
