Top SchoolIain Mcdonald is an Australian-born creative entrepreneur and CEO based in Los Angeles with 13 years of leadership experience and a multi-decade career in film, acting, and visual storytelling.

Collected trainings in acting, dialects and directing underscore his commitment to craft and to applying theatrical techniques in new-media and product contexts.
