While studying at New York Film Academy, I want to build a good portfolio in my second year and send my film into festivals to get things started.

The hands-on approach is the most valuable teaching method. I chose this school because it focuses on filmmaking, rather than general studies like every other school.

I recommend New York Film Academy to prospective students because it’s a good way to try film out first, instead of committing yourself to a 4-year program right away.
