Letter from the founder:
I arrived back home in Virginia in 2004 after spending nearly seventeen years in Los Angeles & Chicago. I have continued casting & producing, have taken on the leadership of a local VPA chapter and thoroughly enjoy the multitude of talent in our region.
The sheer amount of intelligent questions I receive on a daily basis are the catalyst for founding Arvold Studios – a hub for continuing education in the world of filmmaking. The intricacies of production design, producing, marketing, financing, sound, cinematography, auditioning and acting will be revealed through hands-on workshops, panel discussions and intensive classes led by industry experts. Arvold Cinema Arts aims to provide a safe, nurturing environment to inspire creative growth in all aspects of filmmaking.
I have been very lucky in my career and feel compelled to share my experience not only with other filmmaking professionals but also to those curious about the biz. I am honored to have colleagues in the industry who also enjoy sharing their knowledge and continue to challenge themselves as filmmakers by listening and collaborating with others . Arvold Studios’ mission is to channel that spirit to students and teachers alike.
That said, this is just the beginning! I urge you to look at the classes and panels listed and offer your feedback – this is for you.
Looking forward,
Erica Arvold, CSA
Producer/Casting Director/Friend
Arvold Cinema Arts’s mission is to provide educational opportunities for actors, filmmakers, and crew to refine and advance their own work.
