Digital Film Academy

Digital Film Academy (DFA) was founded by film producer and director Patrick DiRenna on September 10, 2001 in the historic Film Center building in New York City. If you want to learn digital, Digital Film Academy is the choice for you. The ongoing technical evolution in the entertainment industry has dramatically changed the course of filmmaking by reducing the cost of production. The independent filmmaker can now write, shoot, and edit a film digitally without relinquishing hands-on control. This welcome development in the filmmaking process absolutely necessitates that the student master the craft of visual storytelling and the many technical skills required to fully realize his or her creative vision and become an essential member of any production. In short: the technology has arrived – the skilled people have not. Until now. Classes only available on campus. Financial aid available to those who qualify.
