“The Biz” Showcases NYFA Film Camp Student Mark Mayfield
April 23rd, 2009 Posted in Film & Acting Camp, Student & Alumni Activity
Every summer the New York Film Academy puts on film and acting camps for teenagers throughout the world. Camps are taught by professional actors and filmmakers, the same instructors of NYFA’s Master of Fine Arts programs. At our Los Angeles location during the summer of 2007, NYFA was fortunate enough to instruct Mark Mayfield.
A young, driven and gifted filmmaker and actor, Mark excelled in our program and continues to pursue a career in filmmaking. Recently, Mark was featured in, “The Biz“, a book in a series of stories written for young adults and about young adults by Ron Berman.
About the book…
“Beautiful beaches. Perfect weather. Trendy restaurants. Welcome to Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world. Although the lifestyle may be laid-back, there’s a lot going on. The glitzy and glamorous movie business is the backdrop to one of America’s most exciting cities.
When most people think about the movie business, they picture celebrities, extravagant mansions, designer clothes and stretch limousines. Sure, Hollywood is all that—and more—but it’s really all about the creative people who make the movies we love.
Mark Mayfield, a talented young actor and director from Atlanta, has big dreams. He’s ready to take Hollywood by storm! Mark is determined to succeed in one of the most exciting fields in the world . . . The Biz.”
