Located in San Francisco, the epicenter of culture and technology, the film school offers students an ideal film school setting. Not only has the city been immortalized in some of America’s greatest films, it is also home to some of the most innovative production companies and directors – Pixar, Dreamworks and Francis Ford Coppola. Film school students are encouraged to take advantage of this unique situation.
