///About "Dancing Suits"

We set out to present our viewers with a group of Anderson students within parallel stories. These parallel stories elaborate upon the hard driven nature of the average Anderson student as well as how the Anderson experience enhances their lives personally and professionally. While the voiceover informs the viewer on how and why UCLA Anderson provides an edge to its students, we used the visuals to tell a story that resonates with our own experiences, personalities, and lives to reflect our personal journeys.

 

Do not be mistaken, an education from Anderson won't necessarily make the path easier. Rather, that everyone who chooses to run those stairs knows that it requires constant hard work. The stairs represent stairs to success. Choosing to run them with Anderson gives the MBA candidate a competitive edge to excel, as well as the necessary resources to reach the top of the stairs.
