Program Information

Format: Campus

Program Description:

This 10 month, 36 credit program spotlights the individual student's personal journey and creation of an independent short film, from pre to post-production. Working directly with some of the most pertinent and noteworthy industry players, including writers, casting agents, directors, assistant directors and editors, students cultivate original ideas for inventive films that communicate a narrative in an aesthetically interesting and innovative manner. Under the direction of highly trained professionals, whose role is to both guide and challenge their students, students are given opportunities for hands-on experience in every aspect of short filmmaking: from the conception of an idea, to the creation of a shooting script, to casting, budgeting, directing, filming, editing, and marketing the final product. The program ultimately culminates in a competitive, thesis-based short-film festival, hosted by SVA at their West 23rd Street theater.
