Our faculty places a high premium on fostering the creative voice of the individual student. Although we teach the “rules” of fictional, documentary, experimental and interactive cinema using all media platforms – from 16mm celluloid to high definition digital video; from screenwriting to animation – we encourage our students to take creative risks, engage the subject of their work with an artistic sensibility, and to resist the compulsion to fit their work into established approaches and paradigms to telling stories and experimenting with moving images.
