Cinema School Calendar Girls 2014
by Meena Ramamurthy

Last year, University of Southern California and the School of Cinematic Arts student Meena Ramamurthy was the recipient of a scholarship.
Now she wants to pay it forward.

To do so, she photographed twelve hard-working, talented women studying or working behind the scenes at USC and featured them on a calendar.
She’s now selling the calendar through Indiegogo at $10: past the production costs, all funds will go to a general scholarship fund for women and a USC department needing some financial support.

The initial goal was reached just 9 hours after the launch, leaving the campaign a month to raise more than $1,500 and securing a a women’s scholarship at USC.

The calendar features various former or current USC students and teachers, from Aug 2014 to July 2015: Meena Ramamurthy (Director), Ketsia Vedrine (Producer), Chelsea Pettit (Editor), Jeanne Jo (Director), Thembi Banks (Writer), Paisley Smith (Director), Melanie D’Andrea (Director), Jamari Perry (Producer), Lindsay Armstrong (Editor), Reese Robinson (Sound Designer), Tierney Young (Producer), and Micaela Colman (Director).
