Acting for Film Programs
Master of Fine Arts
For seriously committed actors, the New York Film Academy Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Acting for Film is the highest level of training an actor can achieve. This accelerated, conservatory-based, full-time graduate study program compresses two years’ worth of advanced material into an action-packed 16 months of year-round study. We provide an environment created for professional development and creative freedom, and place acting students in front of the camera from the rst week. The Acting for Film MFA program works hand-in-hand with the lmmaking program, giving our MFA students additional opportunities to audition for lms. Our students also have access to such resources as lm equipment and live lm shoots, and can take advantage of their time at NYFA to develop a network of lmmakers, screenwriters, producers, and editors before entering the professional world. Successful graduates will produce, write, and act in their own thesis lm, providing an opportunity for them to create projects that re ect their identity and direction as aspiring professionals.
