BEAU – Mitch Hare - Network Dean of Programs for BEAU
Utah, and specifically Salt Lake, is a really exciting place for us to be with this school.
We have the Sundance Film Festival coming in—that's an obvious connection. But other
industry conferences come in. There’s a game art development and production facility
in town. There's all sorts of energy in this community, and this school is going to represent
that and hopefully help that community grow. Students are going to see an involvement in
the industry with this school—that's another thing I think that sets us apart. We’re
reaching out to the industry, whether it’s conventions or conferences. We were at Bonsai
Anime. All of these are opportunities to interact with and see industry people. So one of the
exciting things about this school is the facilities in the space that we’re going to provide
the students. This is, again, a synergetic space much the same as any production studio
or facility that you’d see out in the industry. We’re going to have an audio studio, we
have a digital video studio, we’ve got drawing labs, we’ve got Mac labs. This is a creative
environment.
