Introducing The Elon in LA Class of 2011

My name is Will Anderson and I’m a rising Junior majoring in Media Arts & Entertainment with a concentration in Cinema. I’m from Chapel Hill, NC, which by default makes me a huge Tarheel fan. Ever since middle school, I’ve had a dream of making it into the film industry. The Elon in LA program [...]

Two Truths and a Lie. Goodbye.
