a high-intensive, 12-month certificate program designed to break the catch-22 conundrum most beginning filmmakers have. "How do I get hired without experience, but how do I get experience without getting hired?"

Those graduating with the Film Crew Technology certificate have many options after completing the program. The two most common are:

*Stepping right into the film production workforce. Ideal for those wanting to work below-line as G&E, camera/cinematography, post, etc.

*Continuing on to get a Bachelor’s degree. Working in the industry (rather than fast food or retail) while getting one’s degree is ideal. It not only increase your experience, it also expands your network—something essential for this industry. Ideal for those wanting to eventually work above-line as a writer, director, producer, etc.
