Film Concentration
Students Cale, Dusty, and Lydia between takes.
Studying film can be a life-changing experience.
While many of us have been moved by a film, the film concentration prepares our students to watch films with more sophistication, understanding and depth. Students learn production skills while taking classes in film appreciation. The combination of critical analysis, storytelling, and working together on productions with a team toward a final goal transforms students into better people and translates into many different careers. Students gain experience on industry-standard technology and software.
