Program Description
The online Film school mirrors our Film school in San Francisco and currently offers Master of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Associate of Arts online film degree programs. The program rivals that of all the top film schools and prepares students to enter this competitive industry with the caliber of experience necessary to produce the artistic and professional moving images that are in demand.
As one of the top online film schools, our curriculum includes online film courses that cultivate a mastery of form, content, and structure, as well as solid fundamentals with the integration of digital media. The focus of the curriculum is to expand on the student's vision, worldview, and skill set.
