Build Your Producer Portfolio at NYFA
At NYFA’s Producing School, students learn how to oversee the development, financing, production, marketing, and distribution of creative works. Throughout our programs at NYFA New York and Los Angeles, students will work on a variety of hands-on projects, learning the elements of creative producing and production management used throughout the filmmaking, television, media, and entertainment industries. The degree programs will culminate in the creation of a Thesis Package.
