Learning and studying about filmmaking at the New York Film Academy is a dream come true. I want to be a professional filmmaker because I like telling stories, picturing stories and making them come to life. Studying here gives me the possibility to learn about and practice filmmaking.
The teachers here teach us theory and give us hands-on opportunities to practice filmmaking. Teachers are always willing to help and make you better at what they are teaching us.
Before choosing to study at New York Film Academy, I decided to apply because other students talked to me about how they found the school to be a great place to learn. I recommend New York Film Academy to others searching for a school in this industry.
I have an MFA in TV production from Brooklyn College at City University of New York. After spending 30 years dormant in the industry, I took NYFA's one-week film making course to distinguish between TV and movie jargon. I thought it was excellent. I needed to produce a one to two minute film project but was inspired to continue it to over nine minutes. It got me recognition in my local area and am now writing a script with their help to try to produce it. I think NYFA is an excellent option for those who want to learn film making. Some of the teachers are the best I have ever seen. The courses, one, two, four and six weeks are a continuous project. After the one week, you can continue to the second week, then the third fourth weeks. You pay as you go along. I strongly advise you take the one week film making workshop. If it sets well with you, continue with two, four or however many you want. If it doesn't set well, you have only paid one week and have saved a lot of money. Try it!I know this is kind of off topic but has anyone here attended NYFA's high school summer workshops? I'm hoping to attend one this summer but it looks like I'm only going to be able to attend a three week workshop...Does anyone know how the 3 week compares to the 4 or 6 week ones? Any other comments about the workshops?
