All was simple in the last millennium you learn your craft in school , and you are set for life. Not anymore – technology and cultural environments change so fast that a lot of learned rules and conventions of the past are not applicable anymore. It is extremely evident in the motion picture and TV Industries. Film is on the way out, digital cameras and the complex computer generated images replaced a lot of old technologies. New knowledge needs to meet the new requirements of the times .

The famous futurologist Alvin Toffler said: The illiterates of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. Two schools in Los Angeles — Global Cinematography Institute and Joe Blasco Make-up School — took this as their unofficial motto and are ready to meet challenges of the times.

We intend the Institute to provide a forum where new and experienced filmmakers from all sectors of the industry can learn about the Art of Cinematography from the past, present and future, including the evolving art of digital and virtual cameras and lighting.
