This week, 20 alumni from New York Film Academy (NYFA) met up for dinner in Manila, capital of the Philippines.
Also present at the event were Jim Miller, NYFA Vice President, Strategic Initiatives; Jonathan Whittaker, Chair of Short-term Intensive Programs; and Tami Alexander, NYFA Vice President, Middle East & North Africa.
The alumni were a fun, diverse group, and came from a variety of NYFA programs, including short-term workshops, long-term conservatories, camps, and the MFA program. Both the New York and Los Angeles campuses were represented, as well as several graduation years.
Over the meal, the alumni got to know one another better, and shared what they have been up to since graduating NYFA. Some of the alumni achievements included acting in professional shows, releasing music on Spotify, filming multiple feature films, and winning Best Actress at the CINESB Film Festival. One alum shared that they will be heading the cultural events of the upcoming biennial South East Asian Games, hosted this year by the Philippines.
