I chose to study at New York Film Academy because I want to expand my story-telling and develop into a wonderful moving picture story-teller.

The hands-on camera work is a valuable teaching method. I enjoy getting the different point of views and understanding how it changes the intent. Also, there are always opportunities to ask questions.

This school is not only intensive, but I didn’t have to wait an entire year to hold a camera. I recomend this school to others looking to get into the industry.

My experience at New York Film Academy so far has been awesome. I took the 8-Week filmmaking program and I learned a lot. I also decided to take the 1-year cinematography program to improve in this area and help fulfill my dream of becoming a director.

The programs are very intensive and you learn a lot by doing and not just listening. Teachers are always willing to share their opinions and emphasize on what you are doing well.

The reason I chose to study at New York Film Academy was because friends of mine who previously studied here recommended it to me, and the school makes it easier for international students to attend.

I recommend this school to others because of my great experience. The admissions team, teachers, T.A.’s and equipment guys were all incredibly nice. I love the building and made great friends, which ultimately generated a great atmosphere.

The school has a very hands-on approach that I find to be the most valuable teaching method.

New York Film Academy is better than other schools due to their hands-on technique. I find no better way to learn than actually physically immersing yourself in the project. Attending school here allowed me to live in New York City.
