About New York Film Academy
Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Bruce Springsteen, Al Pacino, Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, and Jodie Foster are among the many figures in the film industry who have sent their family members to study at the New York Film Academy.

Brooks. The New York Film Academy was founded on the philosophy that “learning by doing” combined with best industry practices is more valuable than years of theoretical study for filmmakers and actors.

About Program
A producer is one of the most crucial creators in the entertainment industry. This intensive, hands-on eight-week film production workshop covers the entire spectrum of the work of a producer — and adds a practical production element. Students produce their own short digital project. A complete overview of production fundamentals includes a detailed exploration of the creative producing process, the creation of a film package, story and script analysis, an introduction to production management (including industry standard Movie Magic scheduling and budgeting software), camera, lighting, and sound classes, the Avid editing system, as well as pitching, entertainment law, and case studies.
Film production workshop participants advance their skills and knowledge through creating their own individual project and by following production through from start to finish. Students write their own script, cast actors, schedule, budget, shoot, and edit on the Avid system, adding sound, music, and credits to realize a finished project.
Producing classes include: screenwriting, film finance, crowdfunding finance, directing for producers, casting and working with actors, line producing, practical camera and lighting, editing, post-production sound, color correction, digital distribution, and marketing — as well as film festival strategies.
The practical application of producing skills and techniques allows students to emerge from the course with their own completed digital film project.
