Everything You Need to Know

Our intensive three-month program takes complete beginners through the entire filmmaking process from script to screen. Students learn screenwriting, film production, and post-production editing while creating their own short film. No previous experience is required.

The program runs for 90 days (3 months) with 2 classes per week, meeting consistently throughout the duration of the curriculum.
