Originally founded in 1936 at the University of Southern California, it merely started off as a group for cinematographers. As with many things over time, it grew in both size and areas of interest. Soon, it encompassed screenwriting, TV and Film production, Animation, Critical Studies, and much more. Today, DKA takes pride in being grounded in professional values and principles, and aims to be recognized as the premier institute of upstanding entertainment industry leaders. Our goal is to provide a safe and respectful environment for students who want to develop their careers and interest in the cinematic arts.
