some LA stuff

I learned from a friend today that we, as USC students, can get cheaper movie tickets! Just go to the ticket office in the student union and you can major discounts (normal theater prices are over $12, but if you buy a ticket from the usc office, it could be $6.50 or $8).

Also, on Jan 31 @7pm in TCC 450 (hosted by SCBFF), there's an event called "Breaking into the Industry: Pick Their Brains" which is basically a huge panel/networking event with people from Paramount, NBC, etcetc. It's apparently a really popular event every year with more than 200 students showing up so he said to get there early.

Also on Feb 16, some people from the Onion are coming to USC for a panel.

A good way to stay up-to-date on free screenings (for example, they screened Flower of War for free) and such is to get onto the Cinema school listserv via their website.
