Welcome to the New Film Academy!
Our filmmaking program is a creative home where young people build confidence, find their voice, and bring ideas to life through hands-on projects in film, music videos, podcasts, and more. With over 15 years of experience, we offer mentorship from a diverse staff of professionals with backgrounds in filmmaking, news, and other media. We provide a safe, inclusive space where students of all backgrounds can grow as storytellers, collaborators, and creators—whether they're pursuing a media career or simply looking for a place to belong.
Our new location! - "The Space"
We are partnering with Lightbulb Rentals to establish a venue for our program. Together, we are renovating the space to create a welcoming environment.
Help us bring this vision into focus...
