Overview

The BFA program in Film and Media Production at Arizona State University connects students with creative experiences and pre-professional training, focusing on ethical practices and interdisciplinary collaboration. Students are empowered to master digital technologies to create stories that reflect their unique vision and voice.

Beginning with foundational courses that situate the film and media artist as an active citizen-storyteller with a responsibility to their community, students work through a series of structured milestones and projects that culminate in the presentation of a professional digital portfolio. The curriculum also includes interdisciplinary requirements and elective options from across ASU to ensure that students experience connections between the arts, cultures and the creative process.
