Program overview
This multidisciplinary, two-semester post-graduate advanced television and film program — facilitated by the School of Communications, Media, Arts and Design in the hub of Toronto's film and television district — is especially beneficial for writers, directors, producers, editors, actors and other film and television craftspeople who want to expand their knowledge of the industry.
The major focus of the program's first semester is on creating, pitching, outlining, developing, drafting and polishing production-ready short film scripts. During the second semester, you have the opportunity to prepare, perform in, shoot and/or post a number of these productions.
Additionally, the Advanced Television and Film – Script to Screen program sees you deconstructing classic films, television shows and scripts of all genres.
