What Students Say


After careful consideration, comparing and contrasting the top 20 film schools in the United States, I chose San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking. It has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

Joyce Anastasia
Digital Filmmaking Program Graduate

As a student I have been afforded many opportunities. I have worked on corporate projects, independent films, and even contracted my own gig as a producer for a fantastic non-profit organization.

Tammy Miller
Digital Filmmaking Program Graduate

I have definitely learned a lot from the documentary training program. I have been able to complete a high quality commercial for my business, a documentary for my family, and a couple of short films to kick-start my own documentary filmmaking company.

Jeffery Leon
Documentary Filmmaking Program Graduate

After finding FilmSchoolSF in California and coming to an information session I realized that this was the perfect place for me to grow my craft and learn about the practical side of filmmaking. I immediately enrolled in a 5-week course and just one month later started the year long film program.

Digital Filmmaking Program Graduate

Filmmaking is hard work, the kind that will take everything you have. But making films will also feel like the best job in the world, and what you make will stand out on a personal level among some of the most important things you have made in your life.
