Why Study Film and Media Production at MMC?

Where better to develop your skills as an artist than in the production capital of the world? Divide your time between our studio classrooms with experienced faculty and New York City as your personal set. Our accomplished faculty go beyond simply teaching the tools of production and actually immerse you in the culture of the industry itself.

What You Will Learn

• Courses such as Video Field Production, Digital Sound Workshop, and New Media Techniques empower students to create compelling projects using a wide variety of skills and techniques.
• Make your skillset panoramic: Gain critical preparation in classes such as TV Studio Production, Intro to Lighting Design, and Video Postproduction for an industry in which a range of skills aren’t only useful, but necessary.
• Courses such as Podcasting, Video Postproduction, Producing for Creative Media, and our two-semester senior capstone allows you to both branch out and zero in on subject matter and technique.

Program Highlights

Internships

Go to class in the morning and intern at CNN in the afternoon. Our campus is blocks away from the most important communication companies in the world. Our students land internships at places like The Tonight Show , The New York Times , Tribeca Film Festival, NBC Latino, Magazine, Film Forum, Michael Kors, and many more.

Stand Up Speak Out

An annual art and social justice festival, Stand Up Speak Out engages students in the study and impact of mass incarceration. Our Manhattan campus students received academic conceptions from their peers at Bedford Hills which, in turn, were adapted into creative work with the College’s Art, Dance, and Theater departments.
