Liberty University Cinematic Arts, Zaki Gordon Center

Liberty University Cinematic Arts, Zaki Gordon Center The next generation of film-making starts here. Liberty University's Cinematic Arts Center offers a unique approach to training future filmmakers.

With a Christian framework and a real-world model, graduates of our program will be fully equipped to compete with the best while maintaining integrity. Every graduate of Liberty’s Cinematic Arts program will leave the school with a completed screenplay, a business plan to market and fund it, a short film they have written and directed, and real-world career experience, including a feature film cr

edit and work with industry veterans.

“Liberty is inviting potential filmmakers to ‘change chairs, this is a real opportunity for film fans to get out of their theater seats and into the director’s chair. The real winners will be millions of audience members longing for high-quality films that reflect their values.” -Stephan Schultze
