Florida State University School of Motion Picture,

About Us

The Film School provides a one-on-one setting for the majority of instruction. Its curriculum focuses on the art, craft, and business of storytelling. The faculty of filmmakers is a blend of senior industry members that include Stuart Robertson, Richard Portman, Rexford Metz, and Chip Chalmers, and young accomplished professionals such as Valerie Scoon, Reb Braddock, Tim Long, and Vicky Meyer, all who have a record of excellent teaching in addition to their impressive industry credits.

FSU is the only film school in the country that pays for the production costs of all of its students’ films, thereby creating a level playing field for students to focus on art, craft and imagination, instead of fundraising. To ensure that this high caliber of education is available to the most talented student regardless of financial means, the university offers generous scholarships and assistantships, and tuition costs that are among the lowest in the country.
