Cornish Programs

Film

The Film Department is a writer/director pathway. Students are immersed in the art of filmmaking—from initial concept, to script, to the editing booth. Students experiment with language, sound design, and lighting; collaborating with peers from across the College’s eight performing and visual arts departments.
