Sarah Adina Smith said, “Brande reminds us that we are nothing without each other. Los Angeles is like no place on earth because of the people who live here – but they can’t afford to stay and rebuild without a job. ”

Alexandra Pechman added, “actors, HODs, writers, producers and instructors want to live here and see their families. They will not go to Bulgaria or South Africa or Canada to shoot, and it brings jobs under the line back to LA. But we have to encourage people to stay here and rebuild and support our small businesses. This city was built on people who came here to make movies – let’s keep them here. “
