Film School Program - New York Film Academy (NYFA)

[jdogger300]

Ok so i have a couple questions...the first question i have is can you join straight out of highschool....also what is the difference between producing and editing.

[carlosantana07]

So its a summer school and once i finish high school i can get a degree there?

[katkattat10]

how do you subscribe if you are not from US ? and for how much money?

[AnnadeSon]

I need some help, is this a university?And, can I go after college and get my master´s degree there?

[asaktap98]

how expensive is this and how do we cover insurance

[iNF4mOuSxMiKE]

im thinking about attending this college i really want to get into acting i feel i have alot of potential for it. + i live in NY. this college is only like 45 mins from me.

[ArmenianProductions]

Is it worth it to do this? I'm losing sleep over deciding whether or not I should go to Film school. I LOVE film, filmmaking, the behind-the-scenes stuff. But, we all know it's not a stable career, and I don't want to starve..

[JoChEeM90]

Is it only a summer school?

Or can you study here to?

Kind Regard

[elainee6]

Do the students provide their own camaras and equipment¿

[itsNards]

@elainee6 they give you canon 5d

[mardfet]

Do they have an iTunes U on this, or a podcast?

[Milosh604]

I like it :) See you there

[MsAuntMary]

for the film summer camps, when your making your short film, who acts in it?

[BrittanyNicoleAllen5]

Is this a good film school? because I've found nothing but mostly bad reviews and I really want to go here  but I dont want it to be a waste of time and money.

[BrittanyNicoleAllen5]

How is the acting AFA program here? I really have been thinking about applying to go to NYFA.. Is it a good program? Do you make a lot of films? I really want to be an actress

[jojomibo]

[BeastModeAustin]

[DaLatinoJuice]

@BeastModeAustin and you know this because you were searching teen maids? :p

[BeastModeAustin]

the fat chick is in porn

[zakipad]

I don't get it, why is NYFA is LA?

[jera3]

this is my goal for life! Eventhough I'm from Norway, I'm gonna go there for somehow!

[MrTechnoiGeek]

Hello, I have been thinking about a film school, I want to be a video editor, what do you guys have to say on that? Will I benefit from this program?

[MiKKA335]

This school looks brilliant. I'm interested in filmmaking/cinematography and screenwriting, but I'm from Australia (the film schools here kinda suck). Is it possible for me to attend, maybe next year or 2012? (btw, I'm 17, turning 18 next year). Thanks

[chxitout]

@MiKKA335 It's the same thing with me, except i'm from Norway. Problem is that this school is not on the list of schools that have been verified by the government so you can't get a scholarship. (At least in Norway) Kinda sucks because i REALLY wanna atend this school next year.

[Natlurvsyou4ever]

Is NYFA like a summer school kinda thing?

Cuz I'm interested in musical theatre, or just acting...and NYFA seems amazing :D

You can be 14 or 15 and still join right? :)

[newyorkfilmacademy]

@Natlurvsyou4ever Hello! NYFA offers teen musical theatre programs during the summer at our New York Film Academy location in Manhattan (New York). The workshop is a four-week class taught by Broadway professionals that includes classes in tap, voice, and acting and culminates in a final showcase.

[FlipTheDish]

Going here next summer :)

[asaktap98]

[blissfullycat02]

@asaktap98 It's the NYC campus (it's where I went and I recognize it) It's on Brodway and Prince st. in SoHo

[asaktap98]

[FleetStreetNightmare]

WHOA i want to go there. they have awesome cameras and a dolly track, we didnt have that at summer film program i went to

[zac1XII]

i know there is an open house on Aug. 21 in NY, im thinking of going there, is there anything there i should expect to see?

[mrgusbus91]

hey so I want to study film direction in NYFA and I was wondering what are the requisites to enter this school...

[90ananas]

I think this is my dream school! I'm from Switzerland and I would really like to make the BA program in filmmaking next year. But I don't know if my school degree is the same like a Highschool degree in the USA. I did the regular school here and made a 3 year business training (school and working). Is this enough to go to the NYFA or what do I need to go to the school??????

[Missimagination261]

@thewebmogul going to NYFA is NOT about your thirst for film attention, you learn a variety of teachings in film industry, the Academy's faculty is comprised of professionals who have real-world experience, pushing their students' creative abilities to the maximum. Their courses are taught through a balance of classroom instruction, hands on workshops, and immediate experience. NYFA is a professional, hardworking school that have no time for child criticism nor dead beats. have fun doing nothing

[Missimagination261]

0:15 the ghetto filmmaking strut :D they should've snapped their fingers while flaunting down the room, i am so ambivalent on deciding to do this, acting, or screenwriting next year. Couldn't NYFA create a 4 week program for all 3, i would devote myself to work that hard it's my passion<3

[newyorkfilmacademy]

@Missimagination261 Students in our programs live and breath their subjects while in school, so we can't really combine topics. However, we do have short filmmaking and acting workshops and a two month screenwriting workshop. You may not be able to study everything at once, but you can attend a couple different short programs to get a taste of everything you want to do!

[truecorbinfan]

so, this is gonna be my last year in high school (in september), and i've taken a theatre arts class. I know all about impro and such, so i was wondering.....going to that academy, would it be a good thing? I mean, i wanna be an actor so, can i start of my senior year there? Do u guys have other subjects? or is it just acting?

[newyorkfilmacademy]

@truecorbinfan We're glad you're interested in studying with us! Attending acting school is a great way to prepare for a career in acting and can give you a leg up on the competition when you start auditioning. We also offer programs in filmmaking, producing, musical theatre and many other subjects. Feel free to give us a call at our NYC campus at 212.674.4300 to talk to an admissions counselor or request info right on our website. We are happy to talk to you about our different programs!

[truecorbinfan]

@newyorkfilmacademy thanks for the info

[zac1XII]

i really want to be an actor, but i never acted before, is there a class for like beginners and if there is how much is it for the classes?

[newyorkfilmacademy]

@zac1XII You can enter most of our courses at any level. We'll catch you up quickly, don't worry. ;) If you are just trying acting out for the first time and aren't ready to commit a semester or a few years, yet, check out some of our weeks-long acting programs to see how it suits you. Then you can apply your credit for the short program towards more extensive work with us.

[HeyJoslynBETHEBEST]

And this is where I'm going when I get big. :)

[newyorkfilmacademy]

@freddyvoorhee Actors normally agree to work on student films for free, in return the student filmmaker will guarantee them a copy of the finished product. A very generous director may even give the actor any footage they have of the actor (alternate takes, omitted scenes, etc.) and we encourage that.

[Mvanzandt0317]

Can't wait to start here it is gonna be awesome.

[NicoleSBL]

I LOVE NYFA!

I want to go here after high school.

But absolutely no experience or idea how to do anything cause no one could teach me now.

is that a huge problem?

i'm afraid i'm not good or smart enough

[newyorkfilmacademy]

@NicoleSBL It's ok if you don't have acting or filmmaking experience. Our programs are intensive, and our instructors will help you pick up practical skills quickly. You just have to be willing to work hard. Check out our website for more info about what we can offer you! You can request information right on the site.

[littleblackboy08]

:) love this

[Allison202020]

okay, so i really wanna go here.

;/ What's all the info?

i would really like to know, looks amazing,and i love to act<3

[asaktap98]

[asaktap98]

[littleblackboy08]

@emmytaylo heyy im darren im 20 from chesapeake virginia if we all who have this dream put our minds and time to it we can make aa very nice project if ur done reply

[emmytaylo]

@littleblackboy08 i agree

[levar1979]

I've been thinking about attending the NYFA Masters in Filmmaking program, but I just need to get some good advice, before I finally decide to invest two years of my life for this. I hear some saying I could learn it on my own, just like some of the great directors, but I just don't know if I have the time and energy for that. Everyone has different ways of learning I suppose.

[newyorkfilmacademy]

@levar1979 An education in filmmaking can be extremely beneficial to your career. In addition to receiving expert instruction and feedback on one's projects, students also have the opportunity to network with one another and their instructors. At the end of the program, students graduate with several films completed and a reel of their work. Of course, everyone has their own way of learning, but there are advantages to spending two years working hard with people of similar interests and goals.

[BlackMaria1893]

If any of you are considering NYFA, also look into the Digital Film Academy, also in NYC. In my opinion, better.

[francorossoful]

very very good!! marvelous;) regards from the italia!!

[ooganblat]

Panavision? Seriously?

[ColdWhiteProductions]

I'm a filmmaker from portland or, and I'm interested in your school. I want a no nonsense film school that will help you make contacts and teach you the skills to be apart of the film bis. please get back to me. I'm looking for other filmmakers to work with on film. check out my work.

coldwhiteproductions on you tube

[camdianaJones04]

Hey there! I am an actress and I feel the same way! I am looking for a summer camp that will be serious and teach me how to act better in films. I have some prior experience with short independent films, so I want a school that is not just for beginners or other people that may think that acting isn't very serious and are more interested in fame.

[ArAnAgable]

I'm 14 now, and I really want to become an actor,and I wish I'll go to this Academy after I finish school.

[gothiccitizen]

so if you want to become an actor is this a good school in general?

[loveweezy3]

I'm really considering this school:)

[HAGFISHproductions]

Im going for sure! once I graduate

[whatthepoof]

What do most students do whenn they are fissnhed the coures they go on to do more coures or can u go str8 to geting a job doing movies or tv?

[sillysox13]

It's more-so for training purposes to put into applications for Film Schools and Academies throughout different universities.

[newyorkfilmacademy]

Actors for the most part work for credit and for a copy of the film that you're directing. You can have agreements with your actors that if you're to make any money from the film, then you would pay them for their part in it as well.

[shirschfield]

you can use some on like a friend that won't make u pay them lol

[andrew39611]

oh i wnt 2 go there! i love film!!!!!!!!! im 2 young though lol

[shirschfield]

no way dude, im 11 and i go in the summer

[AndrewCostaOmgzzz]

I like how this commercial makes NYFA seem like a show on the WB. I'm glad I didn't see this before I went to the school.

[ShelterDogs]

But going there was worth it, was it? I imagine it costs at least $8k to go there. Right now I'm just looking at how I can make really nice professional looking short videos. Any books, channels or movies you'd recommend? (I'm on a budget.)

[sanchopanza123]

hey Andrew do u recommend the school? how was your experience? thanks

[AndrewCostaOmgzzz]

It's fine. You get out of it what you want to get out of it. Don't let this video deceive you though, it was shot during a 35mm course that lasts 4 days. Also, I've never seen any of these students before. They could be actors.

[shirschfield]

go in the summer it is awsome
