Jarome Hawkins (’96), drew on what he learned in his BCC communications courses to develop his audio production business, Hawkeye Productions, in Los Angeles. His company did the audio for an independent film and is in the process of selling a cartoon to the WB Network.

“It’s great to see my production go from my bedroom (where his audio studio is) to the big screen.”

He has diversified in the years that he has been in California, doing all sorts of projects from the sound track for film and radio productions to the telephone message that a company plays while putting customers on hold.

He is eager and motivated. “I’m producing all the time, always building my library.”

“There are tons of people here, trying to break in. It’s how you position yourself that gets you the job,” he said, adding that he has learned all aspects of production from writing to camera work. He is always passing out his business card, networking everywhere.

"There is no room for slackers here, " he said.
