Thesis Film, Independent Documentary
Choose your own adventure: story, subject, and cinematic style. The thesis lm should use any lm language and equipment learned throughout the program, as well as extensive research, writing, and planning. Every student will produce and complete their own thesis lm, while classwork and workshops support the process.
Documentary or Unscripted Television Series Pitch
Students develop and pitch an original documentary television series that will attract and entertain a mainstream television audience for several seasons. Students both create a written pitch and deliver live verbal pitches for their shows, generally to a network or development executive .
“Story. Story. Story. Tell a good story well — and cinematically — and the lm world is your oyster.” Andrea Swift, NYFA New York Documentary Chair
