A-list filmmakers and technicians pop in and out of our classrooms every day. You’ll meet artists such as Oscar-nominated screenwriter Billy Ray (The Hunger Games) and five-time Emmy-nominated actress-writer Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is the New Black), just two of our Distinguished Artists for Fall 2023.

Land your dream internship

Our dynamic Career Center (led by superstar former agent Joe Rosenberg) helped 500 students book industry internships in 2022. With alumni mixers, free workshops, and professional guidance in writing cover letters and resumes, Joe and his team will position you for a lifetime of success.

Explore state-of-the-art technology

We were the first major film school to invest in a hyper-realistic LED screen, the same kind used in The Mandalorian. Now we’re planning a cutting-edge Innovation Hub, a “virtual” studio that will link the students of today with the entertainment universe of tomorrow.

Discover the world

With travel trips to places such as Japan, Thailand, Italy and England, you’ll get an unrivaled global view of the industry and even get the chance to spend a whole semester abroad. Learn all about our international programs.
