Spend a week with M, an international student from Bulgaria, as she balances acting, film production, and creative collaboration at Occidental College.
In this week-in-the-life video blog, M shares what it’s like to double major in media arts and culture (MAC) and theater and performance studies at Occidental College, moving between acting classes, screenwriting, and hands-on media production in the MAC Lab.
