The New York Film Academy is a unique educational institution, devoted to providing the most focused filmmaking, acting, and animation instruction in the world. Our workshops offer an intensive, hands-on experience which gives students the opportunity to develop their creative skills to the fullest extent possible. The subject is taught through a balance of classroom instruction, hands-on workshops, and immediate experience. Learning to be a filmmaker, actor, or animator is not done “by the numbers.” It is done by hands-on experience, trial and error, feedback and correction, and questions and answers. By working in a series of projects and by working hands-on almost every day, NYFA students will learn by doing.
