Lights, Camera and Welcome to the Film and Television Pre-College Program at Montclair State University!
In your week on campus, you’ll gain hands-on experience by producing, directing and editing your own project. You’ll be taught by amazing Montclair faculty such as Frank Martinez and Brittany Zwier who bring years of experience in teaching and filmmaking.
You will work collaboratively with your classmates to learn what goes into making the shows and films we all watch. This all happens in our nationally recognized School of Communication and Media, where students benefit from state-of-the art facilities and partnerships with television networks and film studios. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Montclair this summer, where you’ll take the next step towards your future while enjoying all the fun of residential life on our scenic campus only twelve miles from New York City.
During the week-long program, you will learn how to:
- Write and produce a script
- Shoot video and capture audio for narrative filmmaking
- Learn and perform the various roles on a film set
- Act in and direct a scene
- Edit footage to create a finished movie
Students will also visit a film or television studio in the New York area and meet with working professionals in the field to learn more about careers in the film and TV industry.
Film and Television Production will run during both Session I: Sunday, July 12 – Saturday, July 18 AND Session II: Sunday, July 26 – Saturday, August 1. Students should choose either Session I OR Session II when applying for this program. The coursework is identical for both Sessions. Apply Today!
