Our young Sidney Poitier New American Film School at ASU is on an extraordinary roll. In addition to Mr. Poitier bequeathing his name to our school, we just opened brand new $100,000,000 stages, post facilities and innovation spaces in Mesa, AZ --- and we established the new ASU California Center at the historic Herald Examiner Building in downtown Los Angeles!
