Director of Industry Relations, Flash Point Academy

It’s the lights, the action, and everything else innovative that makes
Chicago’s newest college the main attraction. Flash Point Academy will
officially open its classrooms this fall, and this school is equivalent
to a two-year crash course in digital entertainment. “We’re really
doing something that is new in the country,” says Bruce Montgomery, the
director of industry relations. “We are bringing the environments of
digital filmmaking, audio recording, and game design under one roof.
One thing that is evident about entertainment today is that everything
is about collaboration.”


The school will also combine book knowledge with hands-on experience
under their educational umbrella, as Montgomery is committed to being
the professional liaison between the students and their futures in
entertainment. “My role is to partner with phenomenal organizations
[within] the film studios, the advertising agencies and recording
companies,” he asserts. “We’re hearing already that the big-name
companies have job openings in this field.”


With high expectations for the future of the institution, Montgomery
believes that Flash Point’s mission will put their students a step
ahead of other undergraduates who pursue a traditional 4-year degree.
“Our ultimate goal is to have students ready to hit the ground running,
working in the profession of their choice,” he explains. “So, when they
finish the program, not only will they have a portfolio, but they will
be able to move right into key job opportunities in digital media. -jamana jamison
