I am studying at New York Film Academy to pursue a career in writing and directing, learn about the industry, and build a portfolio. The hands-on approach has been the most valuable teaching method throughout my studies.

Since I did not want to wait four years to build a portfolio or be able to work with a camera, I chose to study at New York Film Academy because other schools do not have these same opportunities.

I would strongly recommend NYFA to others because it’s intense and shows you exactly how it would be to work in the actual industry.
