Testimonials
ManifestWorks exists to change lives, harnessing the skills training and professional experience to deliver great crews for LA-based productions and great life-changing impact for those we serve. From our alumni and some of the crews who have hired them, here are some words about our impact:
I hired a full crew of guys for a video I did this last weekend and let me tell you I was already impressed by these guys, but after seeing them on set, I want to work with them forever.
So humble, such hard workers and always looking to make themselves useful.
My entire crew, producers, choreographer, etc were blown away as well.
Thank you again for introducing me to them.
JJ Augustavo, director
ManifestWorks changed my life. Before this, I struggled to find direction, but
ManifestWorks gave me the tools and support I needed to start over. The training, the mentorship and guidance were crucial in my journey, giving me confidence I never had before.
Good things have happened. I became a member of Local 728 as a Studio Electrical Lighting Technician. Today, I reflect the good things that happen when someone believes in your potential and helps you unlock it.
