What makes AFI different from a university program?
Each and every program is unique unto itself. AFI is based on a Conservatory model, which focuses the educational experience in a hands-on production environment. For example, during the First Year, each Directing, Producing and Cinematography Fellow has the opportunity to make three narrative projects; Editors work on up to six projects; Production Designers work on up to six; and Screenwriters write one of the narrative projects produced as well as commence work on a feature screenplay.
