This motivated me so much as a high school student. You don't know how happy I am to say i'm a part of the class of 2018 ~ not a day that goes by that I don't miss it.

I'm so friggen honored, UCLA used a clip of my Bad Religion riot rockumentary in this amazing commercial, using my shot of the marquee from the El Portal theater in 1990, North Hollywood, California. Right after a shot of Dr. Greg Graffin singer of Bad Religion. At 0:07, classic, not easy always being the square peg. I'm thrilled. Thank you UCLA, for including my film work in your commercial, I'm truly honored. I would love to teach young film students someday. To follow your dream amongst all the adversity and nay sayers. Validation -- sometimes a teacher, always a student.

Dude. That's awesome. Love BR and love UCLA. You rock

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

@@hotandsour100 Rad That shot is from the Bad religion riot at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood

[@HouseofGlory14]

This is my favorite commercial of UCLA.

[@MIshii-ih5ci]

UCLA is the best school in the world

[@christopherjohn9132]

Awesome job putting Greg Graffin in the ad!

[@anastasiaburgess5743]

This is the EXACT reason why I want to transfer to UCLA. Well put my friend... well put.

[@MortifiedPenguin275]

Well, you're both right. Its the Wrong Way Kids video, but before the song starts in the video, a live clip of the band performing Latch Key Kids is played. That snippet of the Wrong Way Kids video is in this one.

[@rockypc24]

that bad religion mention just made me want to go to ucla

[@1ManNamedDan]

Maybe change the background music to one of Professor Graffins accomplished peices.... nmmmmaybe "Fuck You"?
-
- has a great up tempo positive feel.... certainly makes me pay attention!

[@showtimebruin7821]

UCLA, where dreams are born and barriers destroyed.

[@manseimark]

Hi, what's the background music???? It's really inspiring music!

[@MortifiedPenguin275]

Fucking Greg Graffin is in this ad... I wish I were smart enough to go to this school.

[@brocky]

Nice job! Now please revamp UCLA's mobile media and social media for basketball and football!! It's like hunting for a pot of gold whenever I look for ucla highlights. I mean, Arizona St. has up-to-date twitter updates on basketball games.

[@doehanki4265]

what an awesome vid. dang

[@brocky]

Thank you so much!!

[@HyperNovaAnnuities]

I know. K-Love needs mentioning. So does Jim Morrison on the music side of things too, I suppose. But hey, there are a lot of Bruins--however, if Westbrook gets in--his former teammate/classmate K-Love should get top billing also.

[@nikkiboo05]

Sydney Leroux!!

[@stop619]

"I got my PhD in neuroscience..." WTG, "Blossom"!

[@hollywoodwerewolf]

"Sidney Leroux!"

[@nicol7853]
