This expansion of our current model gives students an amazing opportunity to earn free college credit in filmmaking while learning. CINEMA does an excellent job of teaching the basics of the craft and provides the unique educational experience of creating a project in a team based setting” says Stephanie Martino, founder and president of FFI.
