This document proposes creating a new alumni association for graduates of the USC cinema school to help bridge the gap between graduation and becoming working film professionals. It would develop committees focused on social events, career connections, school relations, film financing, and screenings to create opportunities for alumni collaboration. The association would be led by a top committee and include sub-committees to organize events and networking in different areas. The goal is to build a support system and culture of collaboration amongst alumni that continues throughout their careers.
