Apprentices in Action
A Day in the Life of Our Students
Recording Connection mentor Luis Pacheco

Kyle Oueis is glad took the plunge and started his externship at The at Hideout with mentor Luis Pacheco: “Today June 23rd, 2018 was a realization of why I got myself into this. It’s everything I expected and more! Real artists, real music, real studio vibe!
My mentor is legit! [I] got to set up a band rehearsal and did a mix down, start to finish…Right studio, right time, and with the right mentor. I didn’t realize how much local talent there is. That I get to sit in on the session, help out, and learn at the same time is everything I need to excel in this career!”
Film Connection student
Derrick Turnage who externs with Patrick Wimp at Digital Hydra is gearing up to get in during festival season: “For these last couple months I’ve been super busy. A couple of weeks ago I was a Grip/PA for a couple days of pickup shots for a feature length film. Was honored to see how an actual set and its crew operate. I’m currently in the preproduction process for a short film I’m working on…My mentor has tasked us with getting a cast and crew and setting up our shoot…Next we’ll do some RED camera training and then host some auditions. We aim to start shooting early July, and submit this piece to multiple film festivals! Totally excited!”
