Audiovisual Media Arts
„During my studies at RISEBA I have received the best possible support for creating my career vision. One day when a Hollywood team visited Riga to shoot a real thriller, our Programme Director recommended me and a
couple of other guys from the programme as Production Assistants. Thus I got a great chance to get hands-on experience working as an Assistant to a professional Hollywood Producer, which later helped me
do an internship in Los-Angeles (USA) and pursue a successful career in the area of film production.”
