Programme Structure
Spring Term (Mar-May)
- The first term immerses students in the key dynamics of filmmaking. Students collaborate on exercises and short films, supporting their peers in diverse production roles, and learning to be well-rounded filmmakers.
- The second term allows students to focus on crafts of specific interest to them. Workshops taught by film industry professionals and masters offer specialized instruction in aspects of cinematography, directing, editing, screenwriting, documentary, and more.
- Guided by staff and mentors, each student focuses on the production and editing of a culminating portfolio project, a short film of less than 10 minutes. This may be a narrative fiction film, a short documentary, a commercial, or a music video. A week-long unit of Professional Development helps students prepare to launch into the film, television and media marketplace.
