TEN AWESOME THINGS ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
10) 21 Month Program
9) All Night Classes w/ Some Online Options
8) Choose either the FEATURE FILM or TV track!
7) An active faculty still working in "the business" and devoted to helping you find success!
6) In the heart of the Midwest! One of the greatest cities in the world!
5) Open equipment policy: you can check anything out, even our RED as well as full a
ccess to our 20,000 square foot sound stage and grip truck beginning in late 2013.
4) An amazing, caring, collaborative environment where the entire school of filmmakers is supportive rather than competitive. Encouraging but not cut throat.
3) Go to LA for a quarter to do an industry internship! Network, and see if ultimately you'd like to make the move to Los Angeles. (But trust me, with Cinespace planting roots in Chicago, this city is on the cusp of being the next filmmaking hub!)
2) Page One Writers' Conference and the Visiting Artist Series bring amazing filmmakers in for panels, screenings, and Q&As. Past guests have included: David Lynch's collaborator Mary Sweeney, Tom Cruise's producing partner Paula Wagner, and filmmaker Werner Herzog.
1) When you graduate, you get an entire page in our SCRIPT LIST with log lines for all your portfolio items plus your contact info; this book is sent to hundreds of agents, managers, and producers. AFTER you graduate, every script you ever write goes in the ALUMNI section. Meaning, we will continue to promote your work FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. :-)
