As a Film production student, you fuse the conceptual, creative, and technical elements of our department’s curriculum as you bring your creative investigations to life. The department emphasizes the cross-pollination of critical studies and production, and provides opportunities to explore narrative, documentary, and experimental filmmaking, as well as animation. While we recognize the need for technical proficiency, we emphasize the need for thoughtful content, a clarity of vision, and collaboration.
