New York, NY, August 21, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Digital Film Academy alumni Chadwick Boseman, Alexander Felix and Pavel Kacerle have journeyed from a classroom in Manhattan to the sets of major films like "Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Jurassic World," "Captain America: Civil War," "Gods of Egypt" and "Black Panther." Digital Film Academy students at DFANYC have also become screenwriters for producers like Ridley Scott and lighting technical directors for Industrial Light and Magic/Disney.
Mister Kacerle wrote to DFA director, Patrick DiRenna, stating, “I have to say Thank You! I was a student of 3D Maya course at DFA in 2009! I came to NYC from Eastern Europe with no English, no 3D skills, no experience...and guess what I'm doing today? I'm a film lighting technical director in the biggest VFX company in the world - LucasFilm/Disney!” Another remarkable alumnus, Linda Aïnouche, directed a new documentary entitled "Dreadlocks Story" that has been chosen as an official selection for the 2015 Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival.
