Students, however, must be prepared to live and breathe film in an intensive total immersion workshop with an extremely demanding schedule. As space is limited, we recommend early application to guarantee a place in the workshop of your choice. In the film workshops, each student writes, produces, directs, and edits his or her own films, and rotates among crew positions when his or her classmates shoot. Students receive extensive hands-on experience as a result. Students in the Acting for Film Workshop should expect to enjoy a similarly comprehensive program.
Every workshop is full-time, with classes or shooting organized nearly every day of the week.
The campus' green lawns offer the perfect place to relax, read a book, toss a frisbee or kick a soccer ball. Students can debate their scripts over coffee and eggs in a local eatery, or take a break and go window-shopping down the town's main street. The town of Princeton is located just a short drive away from New York City, allowing students to take full advantage of New York's incredible cultural offerings. Students can shop in the East Village, wander through the hallways of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or eat dinner at a restaurant in Chinatown. The weather is typically beautiful at Princeton in the summer.
