1-Week Filmmaking Workshop

About this class

Over five full days you write, shoot, direct, and edit a short film using NYFA's HD cameras, lighting packages, and digital editing software, guided by working industry professionals who teach hands-on throughout the week. The curriculum covers visual storytelling, camera placement, directing actors, sound recording, and editing in a structured production timeline that mirrors how real film sets operate. Every student leaves with a completed short film and a practical understanding of every role in the production pipeline.
