CML Studios Carlos Leon, 25 www.cmlstudios.net North Hollywood, Calif.

Leon, who earned a bachelor's degree in film from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla., says the business—which includes a 1,500 square-foot production studio that he built from scratch with help from friends. Up next: Leon is starting an online TV channel and a record label.

Very nice! Good work. Freepmail me when you are ready to design and build a large studio and production office.

BTW - How do you scrounge up $25K in capitol to start out of a mobile home at such a young age? I’m thinking college expenses, full time job, etc. Mowing lawns and bartending can’t be all there is. At your age, I had saved about $7,500 for retirement and was about that in debt. I thought I was doing pretty good. You put me to shame.

Good work.
