Today, Lydia Hurlbut steps into the role of CEO of the Hurlbut Academy, as the business expands to cater to a wider range of industry innovators.
Hurlbut has been working in the film education company with her husband for the past 12 years. With the couple's recent decision to expand the business to manage its rapid growth, Hurlbut now steps into the lead role. Her husband Shane has been focused on educating the next generation of filmmakers, essentially working two full-time jobs simultaneously. With Hurlbut now taking the reins, her husband can focus more energy on his cinematography career.
"Shane is busier than ever. He'll always be a key contributor to our business, but we want to broaden the horizons of our members beyond the field of cinematography. I'm passionate about education and growth, so I'll be hiring working professionals of diverse backgrounds to teach new subjects such as color correction and post production workflow.
"In the next few months, we're launching our new platform, which will make courses more affordable and accessible - for both our existing members and other filmmaking professionals who want to expand their knowledge and career trajectory. We will be offering special introductory pricing on the new website (and special group rates for university students).
