American Film Institute
Program Description
Inspiring, supporting and guiding artists in six disciplines--Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Producing, Production Design and Screenwriting--the AFI Conservatory offers advanced hands-on creative experience within a 60-plus credit hour Master of Fine Arts degree program. Dedicated, accomplished professionals act as mentors and guides to Fellows mastering their chosen disciplines. This experienced faculty works intensively with Fellows in a sophisticated curriculum designed for talented individuals with a clear passion for storytelling. Each discipline's faculty is led by Senior Filmmakers-in-Residence. All classes and workshops are small in size to maximize the mentor relationships.
The Conservatory experience is centered on narrative, fictional storytelling as the essential foundation on which moving image artists build and shape their professional voices. It specializes in the essential area of fiction--live action drama or comedy--with a strong emphasis on narrative as the guiding principle.
Unlike more traditional graduate programs, the AFI Conservatory uses hands-on collaboration as its primary teaching tool, providing an experience close to the real-world filmmaking environment.
