In an effort to provide more filmmaking opportunities, the Media Arts Faculty has created a new, more nimble model of Advanced Film Productions in the Media Arts Program. Indies will mimic an independent filmmaking model that will give students a leg up in the indie scene by giving them opportunities to work with a tight-knit team to produce a high-quality short film.
This Indie class will begin in the Winter semester and run through the Spring Term. Students interested in participating in an AFP Indie project must submit their script by October 17. Teams should consist of a director and a producer at the time of the pitch. To be eligible, directors must have completed TMA 318 & TMA 418 by the beginning of Winter ‘26.
Check out the following details for AFP Indies:
- $2000 budgets
- Max 3 shooting days
- Key crew of 5 students (all of whom sign up for the class).
- Production schedule consisting of three terms (winter semester and spring term)
- Scripts should fit the above parameters when considering length and scope.
If selected to pitch, directors and producers will be invited to pitch to the faculty on October 30. A pitch deck will be required; more information will be sent to you before the pitch.
