The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television is one of the world’s most prominent academic institutions for entertainment and performing arts education.

The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (UCLA TFT) is comprised of two academic departments that include the Department of Film, Television and Digital Media and the Department of Theater that actively work together. No silos. No boundaries. No barriers between theater, film, television, digital media, animation and research. UCLA TFT prepares its students to successfully meet the demands of a dynamic professional landscape that requires both classic and new knowledge, innovative multidimensional skills and vital real world experiences. The School's distinguished graduate and undergraduate programs include acting, animation, design (costume, lighting, set, sound), directing, cinematography, digital media, musical theater, playwriting, production, and screenwriting, and offers PhD’s in Cinema & Media Studies and Theater and Performance Studies.

TODAY: Catch “Somang,” a short film by Tim J. Lin ('24) created at TFT, as part of “Next-Gen Try Again” on PBS SoCal as part of the FINE CUT Festival of Films!

“Somang” follows the story of q***r, Korean-American teenager Steve, who must reconcile his family's fractured relationships and embrace his own identity to bring them back together.

Last month, PBS announced 31 finalist films for the 27th season of the Festival, a showcase of short films from California student filmmakers presented through a series of six broadcast episodes. This year drew 414 film submissions from students representing more than 53 schools across the state, including two from TFT! Learn more: https://www.pbssocal.org/shows/fine-cut
