The New York Film Academy (NYFA) is designed for a new generation of storytellers: visual and performing artists who share a driving passion and want to learn by doing and create their own projects in a hands-on, intensive, collaborative environment. NYFA offers a range of programs all designed to balance rigorous academics with practical application training our students to tell compelling visual stories and develop their creative skills to the fullest extent possible. At NYFA, you not only learn how to operate industry-standard equipment and software, but also how your chosen craft relates to and interacts with other creative disciplines.
As part of our commitment to exceptional and evolving education, NYFA has established campuses in New York City, Los Angeles, and South Beach, Miami, as well as Gold Coast, Australia — and a year-round location in Florence, Italy. NYFA also offers hands-on, intensive online workshops in multiple disciplines for anyone to learn from all over the world, from their home. We welcome students from all countries, cultures, and walks of life. This nurtures a supportive, positive atmosphere conducive to the level of collaboration required to do great work.
