When you become a part of our MFA Program in Film and Television Writing, you join
a community of world-class filmmakers: directors,
television writers, screenwriters, and producers who gather together in a cutting edge/urban
arts incubator. Led by legendary producer Christine Vachon of Killer Films and our
stellar faculty, our mission is platform agnostic. We train students in all forms
of visual storytelling.
