Gain Experience in Producing Films, TV, and Media
NYFA’s intensive, hands-on 8-week producing workshop allows students to fully explore the work of a producer, while applying their newly acquired knowledge to the production of a short film. Students will learn how to manage every step of the production process through rigorous coursework and hands-on experience.
Program DescriptionProgram Name: 8-Week Producing Workshop
In the 8-Week Producing Workshop, students will get a complete overview of production fundamentals. The program includes a detailed exploration of the creative producing process, such as the creation of a film package and story and script analysis. Students also gain an introduction to production management, including industry-standard scheduling and budgeting software. To round out their studies, students also take camera, lighting, and sound classes and get instruction in pitching and entertainment law.
To better understand the role of a Producer, students will also write their own script, cast actors, schedule, budget, shoot, edit, adding sound, music, and credits to realize a finished short film project. Many producing workshop graduates enroll in lengthier programs, such as NYFA’s 1-Year Producing Program, to continue to build their expertise.
