    The best thing about the school was how hands-on it was. Within the first day, we were holding cameras and learning about them. The classes, the exercises, the projects, and especially the teachers were amazing. I started working as an 3rd Assistant Director right out of school and paid off my tuition within 4 months!

    Because of the skills I developed while attending InFocus I am now entering the film industry as a camera trainee and will soon begin interning on union sets around Vancouver. Attending InFocus was a great decision and has completely changed the trajectory of my life.

    The 3D Animation Program was a phenomenal experience. The instructors truly care about you and your success. They teach you from the ground up and the way they do feedback is exactly how it is done in the industry. I felt I was well prepared when I got my first animation job. A year ago I was working part-time at a grocery store and now I am a junior animator thanks to my time at InFocus!

    InFocus’s Doc program was a great, hands-on way to learn filmmaking. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who has an interest in filmmaking and wants to learn the skills to launch a career. You will find future opportunities based on your portfolio and through your networks, both of which will get an incredible boost through the school.

    FILM PRODUCTION ALUMNI

    We learned everything from the basics of a 3 act story, how to write a compelling short story, lighting techniques and tricks, learned about cameras, audio gear, lighting gear, how to produce, how to pitch a film, and much more. The teachers were excellent. All of them either were in the industry currently or had many years of experience in the industry, were very knowledgeable, and have current real-life advice.

    But, the best thing about the school was how hands-on the program felt. Within the first day, we were holding cameras and learning about them. The classes, the exercises, the projects, and especially the teachers were amazing, and I am so happy I had a chance to go to this school!
