ACTING & FILM SCHOOL

Earn Your Bachelors Degree in Filmmaking or Acting in Only Three Years

Earning your Bachelors in something you love in less then three years in Hollywood Los Angeles is not a dream anymore thanks to the New York Film Academy and the University of Greenwich, London.

High school graduates who are interested in earning their Bachelors of Arts in Filmmaking or Acting will find the well-rounded and comprehensive Bachelor’s program of the New York Film Academy a very rewarding experience.  During your three year’s of study each filmmaking student will write, shoot, direct, and edit ten film projects of increasing complexity. In addition they will work in key crew positions on their classmates’ films, over thirty films in total.

During the Bachelors in Acting program each student will perform in films, television, and live theater, developing professional skills and a graduate with a reel that displays their on-camera work.

Interested in Film School? Film School Student Reviews & Rankings are Helfpul.

If you are considering enrolling in film school, one of the best ways to determine which film schools to consider is to ask current students and alumni. Getting first had experiences from students who have taken the course and attended the film school you are interested in is extremely helpful in the decision making process.

If you do not personally know of a film school student then you will want to do some research online. The problem is actually finding this information online. Real student reviews and film school ratings are rare. There are very few websites where film schools are rated and students given the chance to review their school. The most accurate, complete and honest website I found was Film School Exposed. I also found that there are dozens of schools with Facebook pages that are very active with student comments.

Before you apply to any film school be sure to do two things 1) Get student feedback, comments, reviews…etc. for the program you are applying for. The key here is the program you are applying for. 2) Tour the school. Be sure to visit it during school hours and sit in on a class you would take. If you can do these two things, I promise you that deciding where to go to film school will be much easier. Good luck!

Jon Reiss Talks Marketing & Distribution of Independent Films

Last spring we had the pleasure of bringing filmmaker Jon Reiss into one of our Film School classes to talk about the new world of marketing and distributing independent films.  As a critically acclaimed filmmaker, Jon used a hybrid distribution model to release his own film Bomb It.   He discovered that there was no single resource for filmmakers where information to release their film in today’s media landscape existed. As a result of this, he found himself reinventing the wheel and watched other filmmakers shoot themselves in the foot.

As a solution for filmmakers who have bombarded him with emails and questions on this topic, he began writing Think Outside the Box Office: The Ultimate Guide to Film Distribution and Marketing in the Digital Era.

The book is a break through, step-by-step nuts and bolts guide to distributing and marketing a film. Each chapter addresses an essential aspect of a film’s release and offers specific techniques so filmmakers can take control of their distribution and marketing destiny.

The book is now available to our current and former students exclusively through the books website with a 12% discount and a large variety of bonus gifts.
