While studying at the New York Film Academy, I want to further increase my knowledge of film. I’ve done four years of TV production in high school and I’ve decided to completely pursue this craft. I chose NYFA to determine which specific niche I’d like to follow and make a career out of. Editing has become my main passion.
I like being hands-on while learning. This standout teaching method I have found the most valuable and helpful in retaining the most information. Examples of what teachers are speaking about – specifically visual examples are extremely helpful.
When choosing a school I chose NYFA because it would give me the fastest access to equipment to shoot, and it’s main idea is to learn by doing. This trial and error method helps us learn if we did something wrong and then provides constructive criticism to help us become better.
The equipment and teaching staff are excellent. The faculty has outstanding experience and knowledge of the industry, which provides us with a lot of different opinions.

I want to become an independent movie director, so I chose to get my Masters Degree at the New York Film Academy. During my first semester at NYFA, we practiced a lot on 16mm black and white cameras, which was extremely beneficial to my learning here.
One of the main reasons I chose to study NYFA is because I wanted to learn how to use the 35mm camera, 16mm camera, and the RED.
NYFA has great degree programs, especially for those looking to pursue a BFA degree. It’s also a great school for people who want to shoot film, even if they have never touched a camera before.
