On Thursday, March 5th and Friday, March 6th, 2020 we spent the evening with Auctus Productions, a New York Film Production company founded in 2014 by students. The events, presented by UCI Illuminations and at UCLA, respectively, consisted of watching short documentaries and having illuminating discussions about film production, the inspiration behind each film, starting a business, and the lessons that the young entrepreneurs of Auctus learned along the way.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our completely sold-out film screening events on Thursday and Friday at UCLA and UCI.
Good news for all of our members, including those who missed the event: Auctus Productions is raffling a GoPro HERO7! Enter for a chance to win by following them on Instagram AND subscribing to their YouTube channel by Thursday (3/12/2020).

“If you wait until the end of the month to save what you have left, there will be nothing left over. Likewise, if you wait until the end of the day to do meaningful but not urgent things like exercise, pray, read, ponder how to advance your career or grow your organization, or truly give your family your best, it probably won’t happen.”
