Overview

Why choose to study the Cinema and Television Directing program?

You'll complete intensive study in screenwriting, cinematography, editing and sound, and direct your own scripts and those written by others. You will have the opportunity to work on both stand-alone short films and series production. For your thesis project, you'll develop and direct a short film or episodic pilot.
