Insider Information

Students should love film and video production and want to pursue it as a career if taking this class. After passing the Final Cut exam, students will have an industry standard certification that could land them jobs right out of high school, but it takes work and commitment.

The class is early, and the end-of-the-year short films take a lot of work and support.
