Accelerated Learning
Through immersive coursework and experiential learning, 18 months is the right amount of time to develop the technical, creative and business expertise for launching your career in film.
Small Class Sizes
In small classes with one-on-one instruction and mentoring, you?ll have the greatest opportunity to reach your full potential. You?ll also build invaluable relationships with classmates and professional networks with peers across creative programs.
Real World Education
From your first term, you are on set, behind the camera, inside editing stations and in distribution meetings. You produce at least one film project per term and gain hands-on experience, working each position on set, in a range of productions. You learn how to shoot in multiple styles with access to Toronto Film School?s studios and industry-standard cameras like the ALEXA Mini and ARRI Amira.
Cross Collaboration
We provide a unique opportunity for cross-industry collaboration. You?ll bring your productions to life, working with students across creative programs including Writing for Film and TV, Acting for Film, TV & the Theatre and Video Game Design. Through both on-campus and off-campus productions, you?ll be mentored by a variety of cross-industry professionals.
Study in the Heart of Canada?s Entertainment Industry
You?ll study in downtown Toronto, steps away from the lively Dundas Square which often hosts outdoor film screenings and productions. The city provides an inspirational backdrop with such world-class cultural events as the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Reel World Film Festival, Hot Docs, and North by Northeast (NXNE).
