How much does this on-the-job training cost? That’s the best part: it costs about 75% LESS than the other film schools will charge you. We know that carrying a large load of student debt is no way to start your career, so we’ve designed our program to be extremely cost-effective, so you won’t be burdened with huge debt when you graduate. It’s the best deal you’ll find anywhere.
