Independent Film And Digital Imaging Master Of Fine Arts

Governors State’s 60-credit hour Independent Film and Digital Imaging MFA involves you in every facet of filmmaking and photography. Students on our independent film path conceive and write screenplays, master the art of cinematography, direct cast members in dramas and subjects in documentaries, see projects through post-production in Adobe Premiere and AfterEffects, then develop festival strategies and ways to secure streaming distribution. Our photographers are given free reign to develop Exhibition-worthy work, and each has the opportunity to hold a themed exhibition as part of their final stages of the degree. All of our graduates also leave with the "union card" that makes them eligible to apply for careers in higher education.
