Our Students Don't Produce student films... they Produce Feature Films that are Distributed Worldwide
Program 1: 6-9 Month Development & Preproduction Phases
In these 2 Phases, Students Experience and Train in real-world filmmaking from the Producer’s and Director's perspectives -- from Acquiring Screenplays and Financing (Development) to HANDS-ON training in every aspect of Production Management, including use of professional Budgeting and Scheduling software. During this Phase (Preproduction), Students sharpen their leadership skills by supervising all Key Departments as the film gears up for Production.
Program 2: 1-2 Month Production Phase
--3 in 1 Professional Programs --1 Low Tuition
This Career-Advancing Program Provides Hands-on Training in all facets of Feature Film Producing, Financing, Directing, Post Production, and now includes the Academy's Circuit Training with up to 10 Professional Workshops in all Key Filmmaking Disciplines, including Cinematography --
By the end of Preproduction, Students have gained the Knowledge, Experience and Confidence to walk and talk like Producers. Having earned their titles, they take the helm of the Feature Film that they have collectively preproduced.
Throughout the 1-2 Month Production Phase, Students benefit not only from this unprecedented learning opportunity--producing an actual Feature Film--but from another Academy exclusive --
During A.C.T., Producing Students rotate from department to department until all Key Crew Positions have been thoroughly covered both in theory and practice.
Why Learn all Key Crew Positions?
We believe that providing aspiring Producers and all Department Heads with a Well-Rounded Filmmaking Education makes for more effective and respected leaders, the Filmmakers who will create tomorrow’s indie or blockbuster classics.
During each day’s training in Assistant Directing, Cinematography, Sound Mixing, and all Key Positions, DHIs (Department Head Instructors) execute the first 2-3 takes of select scenes to demonstrate standard industry procedure. The last 2-3 takes of these select scenes are then executed by students, not only to emulate their DHIs but to discover and build confidence in their own styles.

ABOUT US: The LOS ANGELES FEATURE FILM ACADEMY was founded on the principle that Professional Filmmaking should be learned in a professional environment, not in a classroom nor by making short student films. At the LA Feature Film Academy, our STUDENTS WRITE, PRODUCE, DIRECT, SHOOT, EDIT, OR ACT IN FEATURE FILMS THAT ARE RELEASED WORLDWIDE. There is no better way to launch your career, and no other school but the LA Feature Film Academy offers this opportunity.
Throughout this intensive phase, students experience real-world Post Production from the Editor’s, Assistant Editor's, and from the Post Production Supervisor’s perspective. Training progresses from Advanced Editing Techniques--achieving the Editor’s Cut, Director’s Cut, and Picture Lock--to dealing with various Post Production Services and Processes, including ADR, Foley, Music, and Mix.
These professional Post Production Workshops, which also include HANDS-ON Training in FINAL CUT PRO or AVID Editing Systems, are highly recommended for Producing Students, but are not required to graduate from the program.
Program 3: 3-6 Month Post Production Phase
