A Message from the Associate Publisher Alexander Hafizi – July/August 2023
Can you believe it’s Summer? June has been so gloomy, but I’m hoping July and August will warm up and it will really start feeling like Summer.
In this issue, our cover story features LA North Studios and its owners, John Prabhu and Anthony Syracuse. We delve into the world of film production and learn about their journey.
We also take a closer look at Santa Clarita Studios, another prominent player in the entertainment industry.
One of my favorite events last month was the Ultimate Gentlemen in Business winners private award ceremony at Salt Creek Grille. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet the winners and mingle with some of the most successful individuals in Santa Clarita. These awards are my personal favorite, as they showcase the best of the best. Don’t forget to check out the winners in this very issue.
