A year ago I had the joy of graduating from Cinema Makeup School with my lovely silicone severed head, inspired by the incredible Dusty Ray. Thank you to Andy Schoneberg, Mike Spatola, Podly James, Vaida Mikelenaite and the many teachers and interns who helped guide me through this course. It was one of the most memorable and affirming learning experiences I’ve ever had!

I am extremely grateful for my life, which gives me the opportunity to communicate with people who influenced me since childhood through the famous movies they worked on! Thanks to Cinema Makeup School which gives students and graduates the opportunity to attend such events and the chance to meet the best of the best in their business!

I never thought that I would know what I would want to do at only 14 years old and that 6 years later I would be here, next to my fake head that I sculpted, molded, cast, painted, hair punched, made eyes for…. and everything else it took to make another me. Dreams do come true. Thanks Cinema Makeup School.

I graduated from my dream school on Friday Cinema Makeup School! This has been one of the greatest opportunities and best experiences of my life. Being surrounded and taught by such creative and influential artists in the industry have been incredibly inspiring. Thank you to all the instructors, staff and classmates that were there supporting me everyday.

The first time I ever enjoyed attending school. I looked forward to this moment for so long, and my time here flew by like nothing. A school full of talented individuals that I learned from and created many unforgettable memories. This dream would not have been possible without my mom.

Just graduated from my dream school and I just couldn’t be happier and so grateful for the amazing experience, all the knowledge I got and the wonderful and talented people I met. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me and believed in me in this beautiful journey.

I graduated from Cinema Makeup School! I have no words to thank everyone who was with me this year! It was the best choice of my life and I learned from the best teachers in the film and beauty industry! Thank you for the best year of my life and for all the knowledge you taught me.

Yesterday I did a thing! I’ve officially graduated and got my diploma from Cinema Makeup School! I am super grateful for all of the instructors that gave me a foundation so I can pursue my dreams. The classes I took (Beauty, Airbrush, Character, Prosthetics and Special Effects) this is only the beginning. I am super grateful for all of the AMAZING people I’ve met here.

“I’ve officially graduated! Thank you so much to all the staff, instructors, interns, and classmates that helped me and encouraged me along the way! I’m so grateful for my time there, and I’m excited to use what I’ve learned to make a career for myself starting now! Much love to everyone who has been supporting me and following my journey so far, and I hope to have lots of new content and projects up and coming!”
