“Filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with, and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.”
-Steven Spielberg

Be sure to keep on making your art and sharing it with others!
GLA’s Instagram Photo Contest
This year, we had students tag their Instagram photo entries with the hashtag #GLAphotocontest, and boy were there a ton of great submissions! These remarkable images share a moment, a memory, and sometimes even a feeling, and we’re excited to announce these three students as the winners of our 2018 Instagram photo contest!
