40 Week Total Immersion Filmmaking Program
The 40 Week Total Immersion Filmmaking Program is the destination for students who are ready to turn their aspirations into reality. The program provides a comprehensive foundation in all aspects of filmmaking. For ten intense months, students live, eat, and breathe filmmaking-in class and on the set. The hallmarks of the Total Immersion Program are intimate class size, personal attention, and a hands-on teaching approach. On completion, an internship is made available to students as the first step in their careers. At graduation, students have transformed their dreams and passion into a practical start to their career-an internship, a job in film or video, or a gig directing their first independent film. Film Institutes of America offers the 40 Week Total Immersion Filmmaking Program at the Carolina Film Institute and at the Seattle Film Institute (founded 1994).
