“Wish something like this existed when I was starting out,” Mr. Reynolds tweeted after his visit.

His visit caused quite a stir among those on campus, and Mr. Reynolds generously posed for photos and videos, while complimenting the FCAD’s facilities and programs.

“I have visited a number of institutions and have not seen anything this advanced,” he said.

Goals of the Seneca Film Institute

Recently launched, the Seneca Film Institute brings together FCAD’s exceptional faculty, industry partners, and alumni to provide an enriched cross-disciplinary experience — including applied research and co-productions with external partners — that will give graduates the skills and experiences to thrive in Canada’s booming screen industry.
