NYFA MFA Grad Jumanah Abdul Volunteers at This Year’s ‘Produced By’ Conference

New York Film Academy (NYFA) alum Jumanah Abdul was one of several alumni to volunteer for this year’s ’Produced By’ Conference, presented by the Producers Guild of America (PGA). The conference held a 2-day series of speaker panels, Q&A sessions, workshops and networking opportunities for aspiring and professional producers between June 11-12th, 2022 at the FOX Studio Lot in Century City, California. 

Recognized as a leading industry event, the ‘Produced By’ conference featured notable guest speakers and moderators to discuss current issues and the future of the entertainment industry. This year’s panelists included Viola Davis, Julius Tennon, Seth MacFarlane, Charles D. King, and more.

The PGA reached out to NYFA seeking volunteers to help with the event. Our alumni supported the conference during one of its two-day runs, followed by their participation at the conference’s activities on the second day–completely free of charge.

NYFA alumni networked with industry veterans, learned from the best in the business, and expanded their production knowledge.

MFA Filmmaking alum Jumanah Abdul spoke with us about her experience as a volunteer and meeting some of the incredible list of guest speakers and moderators.
