Filmmaking and basketball. Long before his graduation from the Academy of Art School of Multimedia Communications & Technologies in 2012, both passions were mixing together inside the mind and heart of men's basketball alumni Devin Williams. After a simple homework assignment debuted on his YouTube page, Williams launched a "TEN000HOURS" concept which rapidly gave way to a global movement through his brand "In The Lab." Now a known as a "teacher of basketball," Williams puts his dedicated work ethic into play daily at the forefront of a multi-faceted company.

Williams' journey to become a global sensation originated at Academy of Art in 2009. After being given a "Day In The Life" video assignment, Williams documented the training of two aspiring high school basketball student-athletes who were putting the 10,000 hours concept to the test. When uploaded to YouTube, that video would go viral overnight, effectively launching Williams' "TEN000HOURS" episodic series and his career. To this day, Williams cites the valuable lessons he learned from Academy of Art's School of Communications & Media Technologies faculty including director Jan Yanehiro, associate director Steve Kotton, instructor Richard Hart, and former instructor Toan Lam.

"It was cool to just be taught by people who were actually working in the field instead of those who were not," said Williams. "Toan, Jan, Richard, Steve, and a lot of people from the School of Motion Pictures & Television taught me a lot."
