Overview

The Film - Creative Producing program at Columbia University emphasizes the role of the producer as one of the creative forces behind a project, requiring business skills, the ability to form creative collaborations and an understanding of an ever-changing marketplace.

Students share a common first year with students in the Writing for Film & Television and Screenwriting & Directing concentrations, reflecting the faculty’s belief that the best training for producers includes work in all of these disciplines. It also builds friendships and professional collaborations that last throughout the program and beyond, and fosters the environment of mutual support and respect that we believe is essential to the creation of film.
