 USC School of Cinema-Television Production

 1 writer, 1 director, 1 asst director, 2 producers
2 cinematographers, 2 editors, 2 sound people

Each student must crew on a 546 to satisfy graduation requirements.

Try searching for USC Film school in either [Google] or [Yahoo] and you'll see what I mean.
