The Film Crew Technician Program Certificate is designed as a two-term cohort program. The first term courses will provide students with an overview of the moving image production process while affording them an opportunity for hands-on experiences. The second term focuses on development of technical and production skills in one or more “below the line” film craft areas, including art, hair, make-up, wardrobe, craft services, grip, electric, sound, locations, and production office.
Some courses are not eligible for Financial Aid. Please check the list here when considering a course.
