At Rocket House Pictures, we believe in the power of mentorship and the importance of guiding the next generation of creative minds, which is why we’re thrilled to announce our participation in the 2024-2025 COMPASS Mentorship Program at Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver).
This mentorship program offers us a unique opportunity to help shape the future of the video production industry by providing real-world insights and career guidance to aspiring professionals. As part of this initiative, our team at Rocket House Pictures will be mentoring two students, sharing our knowledge of the video production field, and helping them refine their resumes and LinkedIn profiles to align with industry expectations.
The COMPASS Mentorship Program is designed to create a direct bridge between academic learning and industry application, integrating mentorship into the classroom experience. This ensures that every student involved gains meaningful, structured interactions with industry experts like us. By participating, we’re not just giving back; we’re actively contributing to the professional development of future filmmakers, editors, producers, and other key players in the video production world.
In addition to offering career advice, we’ll be focusing on the specific roles and opportunities available in the video production industry. From cinematography, directing and storytelling to editing and post-production, we’re eager to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to thrive in this dynamic field. This mentorship aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering talent and innovation within the industry.
For those interested in starting a career in video production, we’ve previously shared insights in our blog post, “How to Start Your Career in Video Production.” This article provides a roadmap for newcomers, offering practical advice on gaining experience, building a portfolio, and breaking into the industry. We’re excited to bring these tips and more directly to MSU Denver students through the COMPASS program.
With our commitment over the semester, we have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the career paths of these students. We see this as more than just mentorship—it’s an investment in the future of our industry, ensuring that the next generation is well-prepared to continue pushing the boundaries of creative storytelling.
At Rocket House Pictures, collaboration and mentorship are key to growth. By joining the COMPASS Mentorship Program, we’re reaffirming our dedication to the creative community and to the continuous development of the video production industry.
