Gracias @Telemundo, for highlighting the inspiring work of our @ArtsMatter program. With @ParamountPics, 200 LAPF students learned about the worlds of entertainment and @SpongeBob, and even pitched their animation concepts to Paramount!📽️

Students from 10 schools across #LosAngeles learned about storytelling and animation with a little help from #SpongeBob and @ParamountPics. The students shared their original characters and concepts during virtual pitch meetings attended by film creatives and executives!
