Interested in teaming up with Catalyst students or alumni? Got an opportunity you think might benefit our community? Here’s what you need to know.

Reflecting the professional industry, our music, film, acting and VFX institute is oiled by collaboration – from the micro level of group work to the interdisciplinary macro level – keeping ideas flowing, projects turning and connections building. Need a filmmaker for your music video, a soundtrack for your film, an actor to motion detect in our green screen studio? How about crewmates, bandmates, event buddies, or colleagues? Everything is possible. 

You needn’t be at Catalyst to collaborate with our students or alumni. Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle – the more connections we make and the more projects we share, the closer we come, as a thriving creative community, to the bigger picture. 

If you’d like to team up with our students or alumni, or if you have an opportunity you think would benefit our community, read on for more information on how to connect.
