The curriculum is founded in the cinematic tradition of the Maysles brothers, direct cinema/cinema verite and encourages exploration of new approaches of filmmaking grounded in the innovative films/makers of today.

Working in the small groups, students are start-to-finish learning the process of filmmaking in the Makers Lab. They learn how to operate a camera, lights, audio equipment, and editing software.
