(Excerpt from “Success Stories” of Musicians Institute)

It all started when…

Bruno Parnell is originally from Fairbanks, Alaska, worlds away from Los Angeles. Back in 2004, he visited a friend that was attending Musicians Institute in L.A and felt that he “knew right away” that he also wanted to go to MI to help him with his career goals in the entertainment industry. Just four years after that first visit, he moved to Hollywood and enrolled as an excited 30 year old student at MI!

Bruno first completed his studies in Audio Engineering and later discovered the FilmIT Program, where he fell in love with Film while learning skills that directly led him to his current success in production in television. He has served in such varied roles as Field Production Coordinator on Uncharted with Gordon Ramsay on NatGeo, Post Production Coordinator for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Assistant Production Coordinator for Are You The One?, Assistant Production Coordinator for Man vs Food, Production Coordinator on Shawn Wasabi’s music video “SQUEEZ” and much more.

Additional credits include Drone Operator on Gordon Ramsay’s USA Road Trip, DP/Drone Op of EarthRoamers commercial and Associate Production Supervisor for Temptation Island on USA.

Bruno says of the education he got from MI and how it shaped his current career:

“[At MI,] I learned that there are some incredibly talented people that share the same dreams of success and what separates them is self-discipline, work ethic and having their priorities straight. Truly taking advantage of the facilities at MI that are available 24/7 and the amazing instructors is up to the individual student… You get what you put in to your time there.”
