On January 22, 2026, New York Film Academy Director of Veteran Services Chris Moore was featured on the VET S.O.S. Podcast, a military transition-focused platform dedicated to supporting veterans as they navigate life after military service.
The podcast is hosted by Shawn Welsh, founder and co-host of the VET S.O.S. Podcast, and provides resources, guidance, and practical insights for service members preparing to transition into civilian careers.
During the episode, Chris discussed how the New York Film Academy supports veterans pursuing careers in the creative arts, including filmmaking, acting, producing, and other disciplines. The conversation highlighted the leadership, discipline, and storytelling perspectives veterans bring to the entertainment industry.
The discussion also explored how veterans can utilize VA education benefits, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, to pursue hands on training in film and media production. Chris emphasized the importance of mentorship, community support, and access to professional training as key elements supporting successful veteran transitions into creative careers.
Media engagements such as this podcast help raise awareness about the opportunities available to veterans in the film and entertainment industries and reinforce NYFA’s commitment to supporting the veteran community.
