The elected official met with LIMS founder Jimmy Lifton to discuss the film program offered to veterans to train for a career in the film industry.

The two walked the lot on Fantastic Lane in Castaic on Tuesday afternoon and explored the various departments at LIMS.

Lifton explained what each department has to offer students who enroll into the program.

As a member of the Arts and Entertainment Committee for the state, Acosta noted it was important for him to visit LIMS.

“This is a fantastic program that (Lifton has) got. It not only helps veterans, but anybody that is looking for an entry into a career in the motion picture and television industry, they do all kinds of training here. We took a tour and we’re just absolutely mesmerized by all the things they’re doing here,” said Acosta.
