After my first year studying at New York Film Academy I had really good results with my thesis, so I decided to take a second year to build a great reel and learn even more.

New York Film Academy helped me a lot with the producing techniques and pushed me to learn more about directing than other schools. Also, the conservatory is really intense and it’s all about practicing and making films, not just learning theory.

New York Film Academy is for those who want to take intense workshops and classes.

I chose New York Film Academy over other schools because I’ve always wanted to study in New York City at a reputable school. I wanted to learn as fast as possible, and I found out this school has the most intensive hands-on programs in the world.

The production workshops are really interesting for me because it gives me the opportunity to try new things, and be placed in realistic situations that can happen on a shoot.

I recommend NYFA to others because the staff and teachers guide you in the right direction to achieve your goals.

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 goal after studying at New York Film Academy is to write and direct. I’m partial to experimental filmmaking and love the school’s hands-on approach method. The access to equipment and small classes are the reason I chose this school over other schools. The intensive approach works and the focus on filmmaking are why I recommend this to people looking to break into this industry.

I chose to study at the New York Film Academy to make my imagination turn into reality. The teaching method I’ve found most valuable during my time spent studying here is the hands-on learning approach. Their hands-on learning and good reputation are the main reason I chose this school over other film and acting schools.
I would recommend the New York Film Academy to others for the hands-on teaching methods.
