Film and Digital Media students hone their craft as filmmakers while studying the aesthetics of cinema and the business of the motion pictures industry.The Mossy Creek Documentary Arts Festival is just one of many ways Carson-Newman Film students connect to the profession. The festival offers the opportunity for students and professional documentary filmmakers to share their stories with the campus and community. Carson-Newman University students will study the aesthetics of motion pictures, learn the tools of production, and prepare for careers in the film industry. Students majoring in Film will select from classes on film in the areas ranging from Communication to English, from History to Religion.

Specialized courses like Film Authors or American Film Genres provide students with a clear understanding of the medium. Classes like World Cinema offer an intercultural perspective on film. Film students also have access to a production studio, editing equipment, cameras, lighting, and other tools of the trade, and internships play a crucial role in providing students with real-world skills in and knowledge of the film industry.
