Programs: F2fs innovative program educates students on many aspects of filmmaking, including narrative filmmaking, animation and virtual/augmented reality. While many f2f graduates want to pursue careers as writers and directors, our program is unique as it also stresses below-the-line careers such as editors, production designers, cinematographers, animators, storyboard artists, etc. F2f students are well equipped to fill these jobs as they receive hands-on production experience as well as guidance from industry experts. F2f attracts hundreds of industry experts who share their experiences & advice with students. In the last two years, over 200 executives spoke to students, including 7 emmy award nominees and representatives from fox, disney, funny or die, calarts, & nickelodeon. In addition to the knowledge imparted to students, f2f students have a valuable opportunity to network with industry experts as each student receives a one-on-one mentor in a field of their choice. Additionally, we connect our 18-year-old students with paid pa jobs and internships. We have already placed all of our ten 18-year old students with companies such as: netflix, shondaland, funny or die, la podcast festival, refinery 29, grubhub, and adolescent content, snarled and united talent agency.
