28 film professionals.

28 working professionals mentor, engage and collaborate with students.

45 students.

We accept no more than 45 students to ensure deep immersion and transformative experiential learning.

14 weeks.

Kick off your semester with a week-long excursion to the Sundance Film Festival; then move to our shooting location for hands on learning and full-tilt production. We wrap when the picture is in the can.

One feature film.

During each Semester Cinema iteration, we produce an ambitious and multi-layered feature film - from script to screen. Students work in casting, costumes, cinematography, production design, post-production and more. We’ll explore historic and culturally relevant themes and shape vivid and complex characters - in imaginative cinematic style.

One documentary.

We produce a feature-length documentary inspired by our shooting location and the themes explored in the semester's narrative project. Students dive into research, producing, planning, shooting and editing - all in pursuit of an impactful and lasting film.
