Students will receive hands-on instruction and actual production experience. The curriculum integrates intensive study in all the major filmmaking disciplines, including screenwriting, cinematography, directing, producing and editing. All students will write, shoot, direct and edit their own short films. The film should be between 5 and 10 minutes in length.
Therefore, in addition to directing their own films, students are required to rotate among principal production positions on their peers’ short films. The goal is to produce a fully realised short film that demonstrates the student’s own artistic vision and point of view. Students will work with their peers and some professionals in order to deliver the highest results for themselves.
