About New York Film Academy

100 E. 17th Street
New York, New York 10003
USA

The New York Film Academy was founded by veteran producer Jerry Sherlock in 1992, who produced such classics as The Hunt for the Red October. Encouraged by friends of his who wanted to send their children to film school, but found the prices too costly, Sherlock designed a school that was not only affordable, but more importantly, was founded on the principle of learning by doing.

Inspired by the idea that to learn how to make movies, one must actually make movies, Sherlock and his colleagues designed a truly unique curriculum. Blending a mixture of traditional film school instruction with a new approach that emphasized coursework based around students actually going out and shooting films as part of their coursework. Each student writes, produces, directs, and edits his or her own original films while also serving as crew members on their fellow classmates’ films to gain extensive on-set experience.

Over the years, the New York Film Academy has expanded both the scope of its curriculum and its global presence, establishing campuses in Los Angeles—where students can earn a degree—and Abu Dhabi alongside campuses and locations in the following cities and destinations:

South Beach, Florida Disney Studios, Florida Harvard University Doha, Qatar Paris, France Moscow, Russia Florence, Italy Sydney, Australia Gold Coast, Australia Beijing, China Shanghai, China Koyto, Japan Mumbai, India Seoul, Korea Jakarta, Indonesia
