WHAT MAKES OUR ACTING MFA PROGRAM UNIQUE?

PRACTICAL HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
The New York Film Academy's Master of Fine Arts in Acting program is based on a simple philosophy: the best way to learn how to act in films is to actually act in films. Acting school students begin acting in front of the camera from the first week of the program. Every week, students apply the techniques and skills gained in class to on camera exercises that are shot and reviewed.

PROFESSIONAL FACULTY
The New York Film Academy's Acting MFA instructors are working veterans of Hollywood, independent film, Broadway, and Off-Broadway.

FILM PRODUCTIONS
Many of our programs require the production of short films or scenes that will star our Acting students. These are shot and edited together and may be used for students' own reels.

FILMMAKING RESOURCES
The Acting for Film MFA program works hand-in-hand with the filmmaking program. This provides all of our students with such resources as film equipment and live film shoots, as well as helping them develop a network of filmmakers, screenwriters, producers, and editors before entering the professional world.
