Jim, has this new focus on the film industry in the state impacted interest in enrolling in production classes at Asbury?

It has.

The program has grown.
29:21
I think I've also been excited, though, to see growth at other schools.
29:25
There are seven of us, I think, seven different schools that have been working together to come up with a basic curriculum that can be the basis for a certification so that when film companies come in, they'll know that those students already have gained some experience and aren't coming in green, like the first time ever on a set.
29:44

29:46
It's helped us... build out equipment and facilities so it's uh it's been an exciting time yeah
