    What made you want to create your own art school and what makes the KIA / Creature Corps Make-up FX training program different from other schools?
    Kurtzman: “Over the past 8 years since P13/ Creature Corps was launched we’ve worked on a wide array of film, television, and music video productions, not only on the effects side of things, but entire productions have been produced through our studio. During this time we’ve had numerous up and coming artists as well as internship students from dozens of schools and colleges come through the studio. Some of them had taken effects courses at other schools, and although these artists were very talented, we found ourselves retraining them on some very basic effects techniques that should have been covered at these other schools. We get calls every week from people wanting to know if we have a training program. Since we’ve had such a demand for artists looking for a real hands-on learning experience we put the program together. The Make-Up and Character Design course is the first of several courses the Institute will offer over the next several years. What makes the KIA / Creature Corps program different is that the students learn in a real effects studio environment. They learn the latest techniques using up to date materials, and participate in a 200 hour hands-on internship program working on actual effects productions in films, television programs and commercials, music videos, and haunted attractions, giving them real life experience before ever graduating from the course.”

      Rob is hands down da man...he is so down to earth...just look at the line up of projects he has been involved in...if someone would have told me back in the 90s..one day i would get to hang out in the office of the special effects guru of evil dead 2...i would have never believed it...that one movie was a driving force of ideas we used back in the old haunted hoochie....there is something very special in the water in Ohio...and it brought Rob back home ...he bought a bowling alley he played in as a kid and turned it into an amazing movie special effects studio...he truly does it all....a first class act all the way...at dead Acres we are always pushing the envelope and making things that haven't been done before and rob has help turn us onto sources that have been crucial in some of our recent projects.......hopefully you register early..cause trust me this class will be full.....this is simply an amazing opportunity for everyone
      in order to see the orchestra ...you must turn your back on the crowd...
