I’ve just arrived from the NYFA 1 week digital filmmaking course in NY. What an exciting experience!
It was a real intensive program. After two days in classes, learning different techniques with competent teachers, we had the opportunity to produce a short film which included shooting in several differents locations — all in the Times Square area.
I just loved this course and the structure that NYFA offers, as far as teachers and equipments.
I will carry this opportunity for the rest of my life.
Thank you NYFA and all of my teammates!
