Whether or not you choose to pursue a career in the film industry, the workshops are an unparalleled creative experience which will broaden your horizons and enhance your future endeavors. The Total Immersion Workshop was designed specifically for individuals with little or no film making experience.
Students shoot film in camera, lighting, and production classes.
Unless you have made a 16mm film which you wrote, shot, directed and edited, we strongly encourage you to take the Total Immersion Workshop before the Advanced Film Directing Workshop. With over 200 Arriflex cameras and 100 Steenbeck editing machines, the New York Film Academy maintains the best ratio of equipment to students of any film school in the world. Students check out their camera and lighting packages on Friday morning, and return them Monday morning for their exercise films. For their final films they check-out for 10 days. The editing room is open 24 hours a day in most Film Academy locations.
