My dream is to become a filmmaker and learn the skills I need while studying at the New York Film Academy. The school emphasizes various approaches to learning such as 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, what’s the point?

I recommend New York Film Academy to others looking to get into the industry.

I have previously studied at other film schools, but I’ve always wanted the opportunity to learn film while living in New York City. I chose to continue my education at the New York Film Academy because of their hands-on approach, accelerated courses and it’s New York City location.

I chose to enroll in school at the New York Film Academy because I’ve heard a lot of great things about the school and I have access to equipment and resources that I wouldn’t have at other schools.

The production workshops are a great opportunity for hands-on practice and are valuable for learning.

I chose to study here because of the great reputation, price, equipment and the hands-on work you receive at the school. In addition to this, I would recommend NYFA to others because it’s a good school to understand the way that a movie is done.

I want to perfect my skills as a writer and director – as well as working in a team oriented profession.

I’ve found Katie Kurtis’ writing teaching methods and styles to be valuable. She encourages her class to brainstorm as the way of free-forming ideals that can later be connected to what we are doing and learning.

The reasons I chose to study here over other schools are because it is intensive. Meaning no time to waste and help us swim rather than sink.

I recommend this school to others looking to get into the industry because if you can survive this, then you stand a chance of being successful in this industry.

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.
