The DMA visit San Francisco California— April 2015
What an experience for the DMA students! This was a media focused trip which included visits to the Cartoon Anima on Museum, The Walt Disney Family Museum, the De Young Museum, me to explore and photograph within the Golden Gate Park, the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Telegraph Hill, and Haight Ashbury. A bay boat cruise also gave students an overview of the city's history and a glimpse of Alcatraz. There were some very unique workshops as well as me for cable cars and sight‐seeing! Great memories for everyone! Digital Media Academy at VIFF and a BIG BLOCKBUSTER HIT BOYHOOD: What a movie! The VIFF offered a special screening to the DMA to experience this very drama c and superb story that was a dozen years in the making. Richard Linklater's masterpiece chronicles the evolu on of a boy into a young man, from six to 18. It is the ul mate coming‐of‐age movie, and one of the most audacious cinema c feats of the decade. The DMA's final field trip was to the Vancouver Pub‐
lic Library's newly opened Inspira on Lab and to see the blockbuster film Jurassic World. The Inspira on Lab is a free resource for students that gives them access to audio/video studios and post produc on suites. A local visual effects company, Image Engine, and a contact of the DMA was one of the companies who worked on Jurassic World.
