Pacelli, set designer of FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS, MILLION DOLLAR BABY, and U-571; special effects technician Steve King of WORLD TRADE CENTER; and Fern Field, producer of the TV Series MONK. The mission of the Riverside School for the Arts is to provide students authentic, project-based arts education experiences leading to the most advanced levels of technical, aesthetic, and reflective skills needed to be creatively competent in a knowledge-based economy.

The Inland Empire Film Commission (IEFC), a division of the Inland Empire Economic Partnership (IEEP), is recognized by the California Film Commission, as the official advocate for filming interests in the 2-county region. The IEFC is also a member of the FLICS (Film Liaisons in California, Statewide). A FLICS designation recognizes the staff of the IEFC for their knowledge of all issues that affect production in their area. The FLICS certification serves as a "Seal of Approval" to the film industry and assures film companies that a FLICS location representative understands the film business and will be able to capably assist their company's on-location efforts. The Career Pathways to Production in the Film Industry panel discussions are open to the public, but seating is limited. Parking is available at the RCC parking structure, located at the corner of Magnolia Avenue and Terracina Drive, adjacent to the Digital Library and Learning Resource Center.
