Los Angeles Film School Lawsuit

(September 26, 2025)

A whistleblower lawsuit has been filed against Los Angeles Film School for defrauding students on the basis of false career prospects.

What Happened

According to a report from Variety, Dave Phillips, the school’s former VP of career development, and Ben Chaib, the former VP of admissions, filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the school in 2024, alleging that “the vast majority of LAFS graduates were not able to obtain entry level positions” despite claims from the school that “70% of graduates are able to find work in their field.”

Additionally, the complaint alleges that the school “self-financed thousands of temporary employment opportunities for their graduates through schemes with non-profits and paid-off vendors to give the false impression to incoming students and federal regulators that their graduates were gainfully employed,” citing a specific case involving Ivar Music Group.
