Program Description

Students will learn at the Martin Scorsese Center for Virtual Production, opening in Fall 2024. This 9 month (September-May), full-time program will provide students an immersive, hands-on education in the emerging field of storytelling through Virtual Production.
The curriculum includes classwork, on-set production, collaboration and apprenticeship. Learn alongside a diverse group of self-directed students including teachers, artists, and other working professionals (writers, directors, designers, producers, cinematographers, technical directors) seeking an immersive academic experience.
In the Fall, students will focus on the story, design, directing and producing strategies for their master's thesis projects, while learning the workflow and technical aspects of Virtual Production within a foundation of a diverse and ethical set.

The Center will feature two double-height, column-free stages, two television studios, state-of-the-art broadcast and control rooms, dressing/make-up rooms, a lounge and bistro, scene workshops, offices, post production labs, finishing suites, and training spaces.
