Hands-On Workshops at NYFA’s Film School
In the filmmaking workshops, students learn to write, shoot, direct, and edit their own films and video content using professional grade equipment and software. As these programs are short-term, students rapidly learn the fundamentals of filmmaking through intensive hands-on production experience, as well as in-class instruction and coursework.
