is designed for people who don't have access to traditional film schools
because of time, location, or financial constraints. We offer affordable

script-to-screen. Courses include screenwriting, directing, cinematography,
sound, editing, and producing.
Lessons are easy to follow and jam-packed

links to great websites around the world to help you understand the
material. There are no weird advertising banners or
pop-ups to distract you.
The courses are
accessible online when you want them, so you learn at your own pace.
In addition, they can be printed for future study and reference. See

Do I need Film School Online!?
This is an exciting time in the media arts.
Home theaters, personal computers, cable, satellite TV, and Internet
streaming are creating a huge demand for product. To meet this growth,
movies are taking many forms, ranging from traditional narratives and
documentaries, to music videos and infomercials, to interactive computer
games with multiple story paths.
New technology is changing the way movies
are being made, too. For many years, film was the only viable medium
for cinematic storytelling, but today video and digital technologies are
powerful options. With their unparalleled speed, cost-effectiveness, and
creative opportunities, they are being used as both an alternative and
supplement to film. It is not uncommon to see all three media together
in the same project.
 Digital technology
has not only changed the way movies are made, it has democratized the
industry. It's now possible to buy a broadcast quality DV camera and
editing system for less than $3,000. This accessibility was impossible
just a few years ago.
This bustle has attracted a great deal of
interest to the field. Years ago you could break into movies through sheer
talent and determination, but that's not the case today. Since the field is
so complex, a solid base of knowledge is needed before you can become
productive. Do you have this foundation? To get an idea, take
