New York Film Academy 1-Year Filmmaking Student

I am studying at the New York Film Academy for their hands-on programs that enable you to build a portfolio.

The standout teaching methods here are the workshops they offer. I chose to study at NYFA because they have more hands-on programs and experience provided to help students build up your portfolio.

I recommend NYFA for those who want a lot of hands-on experience. There are a lot of great teamwork opportunities as well.

I am studying at the New York Film Academy to begin my career as a filmmaker.

The standout teaching methods used here are when the teachers take their time to be hands-on with equipment and show you how to use it – other than just telling you. The hands-on approach the school uses is great.

I would recommend this school because there are a variety of aspects to learn.

New York Film Academy Filmmaking Student

I am studying at the New York Film Academy to become a filmmaker. The standout teaching methods I’ve found valuable are the hands-on approach, feedback on scripts, and ideas generated by teachers and peers.

I chose to study at NYFA because of the emphasis on hands-on experience. Theory is great, but if you can’t pick up a camera and use it, then what’s the point?

I recommend NYFA to others looking to get into the industry.

New York Film Academy Filmmaking Student

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.

I am studying at New York Film Academy because I want to learn as much as I can about directing and everything surrounding it. The teaching methods I have found most useful are the hands-on practice with the camera; and the cinematography and sounds classes.

The reason I chose to study at NYFA is because of their “learn by doing philosophy.” I don’t want to sit behind a desk doing the same thing over and over again.
