The Total Immersion Program is so hands-on. That's what made the difference for me in getting gigs. I was able to start working right away and that was a real head start to my career.

Students become familiar with both camera operation and professional lighting and audio equipment.

The lab fee covers all film, equipment use and processing costs.
