The 40 Week Total Immersion Filmmaking Program is the destination for students who are ready to turn their aspirations into reality. The program provides a comprehensive foundation in all aspects of filmmaking. For ten intense months, students live, eat, and breathe filmmaking-in class and on the set. The hallmarks of the Total Immersion Program are intimate class size, personal attention, and a hands-on teaching approach. On completion, an internship is made available to students as the first step in their careers. At graduation, students have transformed their dreams and passion into a practical start to their career-an internship, a job in film or video, or a gig directing their first independent film. Film Institutes of America offers the 40 Week Total Immersion Filmmaking Program at the Carolina Film Institute and at the Seattle Film Institute.
