Program Overview

Program Description:

From the very first day of class, the focus of the workshop is to learn through making films. Each student writes, produces, directs and edits his or her own films, and rotates among crew positions when his or her classmates shoot. Students in the acting programs are the actors for our filmmakers, you learn to do by doing.

Students can choose between Filmmaking, Hi-Def Filmmaking, Acting for Film, or 3D animation at NYFA's summer programs offered on Harvard University's campus.

Learn lifelong skills from the NYFA crew.

Setting Description:

Harvard University, founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, celebrated its 350th anniversary in 1986. Six presidents of the United States—including John Quincy Adams, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy—graduated from Harvard. Its faculty have produced more than 30 Pulitzer Prize winners and 30 Nobel Laureates. History lives here.
