It’s that time of the year again that the New York Film Academy is hustling behind the scenes to organize our acclaimed film and acting summer camps throughout the world. This year NYFA will be hosting to camps for teen filmmakers and actors in New York City, Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles, Disney Studios in Orlando, Harvard University in Boston, and we jump across the pond to Paris, Florence and London.

Between June 28th and December 12th the New York Film Academy hosts to 162 acting, filmmaking, screenwriting, broadcast journalism and 3D animation camps and workshops. They range from beginner to advanced, 1 week to 12 week.

The New York Film Academy starts preparing for these workshops and camps a full year before they start. What a most people don’t realize is that our summer camps for teens are taught by the very same instructors of our Master degree programs. The teens in our summer camps receive hands-on training from industry professionals as they use the same equipment and facilities of our degree programs.

Monday through Friday, during our acting camp, students participate in a broad array of core classes that introduce them to finding the actor within, while simultaneously training to perform the kind of technical, emotional, and physical work necessary for film acting. Each course concentrates on developing a foundation using training techniques for theater and film, while our primary focus is on acting for film.

Our Acting Camps are often integrated with our Film Camps, providing many one-of-a-kind advantages for the student interested in working in front of the camera. While the acting students are training, the film students are busy writing scripts and learning the technical aspects of directing.

Our camps attract students from all over the world with backgrounds and experiences that are as varied as the countries from which they originate. Each class is limited to an average of 15 students. The compressed length of the program and the focused level of study require dedication and intensive collaboration.
