Film

It’s Intense and Rewarding 

It’s professional film training, so expect to be immersed in all aspects of filmmaking on your way to becoming a skilled and well-informed filmmaker. Classes are small, so your film cohort becomes your system of support, collaboration, and critique. 

First Year: Introduction

Your first year will be a crash course in production, editing, cinematography, storytelling, cinema studies, and acting.

Second Year: Exploration

Then it’s yearlong courses in documentary and narrative filmmaking. Further training in cinema studies classes devised for filmmakers will sharpen your critical thinking and writing skills.

Third Year: Specialization

You spend junior year focusing on either narrative, documentary, or experimental film production. You may then opt to specialize in cinematography or screenwriting if you’ve demonstrated exceptional talent in those areas.

Fourth Year: Culmination

Senior year brings it all together. You spend the year producing your senior thesis film while you serve as a crew member on your classmate’s projects. It’s fast-paced, exciting, and demanding. Your sense of achievement will astound you.

It’s a Wrap

It’s all preparation for what’s ahead. You leave here a confident and independent artist, informed and articulate, adept at collaborating, and primed for the intensity of the film profession.
