Thirty eight ACAM students and parents scrubbed, vacuumed and polished cars in the Angelica parking lot from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June 25. Three students sold snacks to visitors and the hard-working crew.

Cinematographer Shoots
Documentary Short
about ACAM
Francisco Bulgarelli Zamora learned about Angelica Center for Arts and Music from his daughter, Julianna, ACAM's Teaching Artist for Ballet and Jazz Dance. Francisco, who has shot music videos, commercials, short films and features, was looking for a documentary project and thought ACAM would be a good subject and that we could use a current video.
At the end of May he spent hours filming interviews, students in classes and performances. The result is a short documentary.
Born in Costa Rica, Francisco enrolled at the Castella Conservatory Arts School at the early age of nine and continued his art studies at the University of Costa Rica and UCLA. Recently, he completed the features "Endgame," "Dreamer," and "Gortimer Gibbons" for Amazon.

According to Francisco:
"
Cinematography is my craft and artistic pursuit. Using the medium to tell powerful stories about the human condition will always be my passion and aspiration."
