What is a good community college that offers film and theatre cles somewhere near los angeles?

Not entirely certain but you might try Santa Monica College as well. It is safe, there are plenty of movie theaters in town, depending on time of day traffic can be a bit rough though and definitely a comfortable place to live. Units definitely transfer to UCLA as my ex girlfriend took exactly this path and she's now in a masters program at UCLA. Apparently SMC is #1 in transfers to UCLA.
