Film & Acting School in New York & California
New York Film Academy:
The New York Film Academy is a dynamic institution offering intensive, hands-on training in filmmaking, acting for film, digital journalism in affiliation with NBC News, documentary filmmaking, producing, screenwriting, and 3-D animation. The Academy was founded in 1992 at Robert DeNiro‘s Tribeca Film Center on a belief that a top quality education in filmmaking should be accessible to anyone with the drive and ambition to make films. Since that time we have grown into our own facilities in Manhattan‘s Union Square and Soho. We also opened Film Academies at Universal Studios in Los Angeles and London, UK, England.
Programs:
- Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Filmmaking, MFA in Acting.
- 1 and 2 year certificate programs, 4 and 8 week programs in: Filmmaking, Film Production, Digital Journalism, Screenwriting, Animation, Music Video, Acting for Film, Acting Workshops, Evening Workshops, Continuing Education.
- We offer year-round programs in New York City, at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, and London UK, Abu Dhabi, UAE; and short-term and high school summer camp programs at a number of additional locations globally.
Our School's Philosophy:
Learning to be a filmmaker is not done "by the numbers." It is done by immersion in the process and by knowing the "whys" that teach the “hows.” It is done by hands-on experience, trial and error, feedback and correction, and questions and answers. Filmmaking demands the integration of many kinds of knowledge. It is the integration of knowledge that distinguishes the New York Film Academy from many other film schools. In our filmmaking courses, students learn not only how to operate a camera, light a scene, or edit film, but they also learn how all the aspects of filmmaking relate to, interact with, and depend upon each other.
Our School:
The New York Film Academy was designed for a new generation of filmmakers, screenwriters, actors, producers and animators who share a passion for motion pictures and want to learn by making their own projects in a hands-on, intensive program. Each year hundreds of students of all occupations, races, ethnicities, and of a wide range of ages from around the world benefit from the extraordinary education offered at the New York Film Academy.
Locations:
The New York Film Academy has two campuses in New York City: Union Square and Soho. Our Union Square building, the home of all of our film and editing programs, is located at the northeast corner of the Square at 100 E17th Street. NYFA's Soho location houses the NYC acting and musical theatre school. It is situated at 568 Broadway at Prince Street in the heart of New York's trendy shopping Mecca.
