About Film Production

Our film production course explores the concepts that filmmakers need to understand to make the choices that best tell their story. Whether directing a documentary or fiction film, students produce more interesting, complex films when they are aware of, understand, or practice the following concepts: anti-narrative, experimental, animation, archetypal endings and subtext.
