Film Production, Advanced
Certificate of Achievement
The Advanced Certificate provides the necessary industry skills, processes and practices to work on a film crew, produce an independent film, create and run a small film/video business and monetize video in the many social media outlets available today.

Students emerge with short films and other film project materials for their personal or professional portfolio.
