Wells Laura Kay The Art of Motivating Camera Movement Savannah College of Art and Design
TheWrap's sixth annual ranking of motion-picture show schools was assembled through an anonymous poll of more than than ane,200 amusement-industry insiders, educators, deans, filmmakers and motion picture pundits, along with experts tasked with evaluating each schoolhouse. (And yes, our poll has ways to ferret out and account for attempted ballot-stuffing, which does happen on occasion.)
This year, USC regained the No. i spot it had lost in 2020, while Emerson crashed the Top x, Wesleyan and Stanford took double-digit jumps and a few perennial powers fell slightly. Those jumps meant that Stanford returned to the Superlative xx after 2 years outside it, while Wesleyan joined Cal State, Northridge in making the Superlative twenty for the first time.
As always, it's important to note that ranking film schools is an inherently flawed proposition. We're comparing graduate programs with undergraduate ones and putting huge schools up confronting pocket-sized ones. A student perusing this list may well discover the perfect match in the 40s rather than the Peak 10 — and with the entertainment industry in turmoil, who knows which of these schools will have the primal to set up students for the stormy times ahead?
i. University of Southern California
There are movie studios that wish they had the filmmaking resource of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and no moving-picture show school can rival its touch on the manufacture. In fact, it's part of Hollywood — if yous tin make information technology through SCA'south brutal Darwinian microcosm, you'll be equipped to exercise battle in the larger film earth. Its Showtime Jobs Program claims to have nabbed employment for more than 800 grads, and USC ruled this twelvemonth'southward Pupil Academy Awards with 4 winners, plus hogged all but two Western regional honors in the DGA Student Film Awards. In response to COVID, incoming Chair of Product Gail Katz's team created Making Virtual Product: An SCA Faculty Demonstration, a step-past-step tutorial on producing TV and picture show virtually.
Innovating to make on-set product safer, SCA's Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) partnered with Universal, Warner Bros., Amazon and others on The Ripple Outcome, using tech throughout preproduction to minimize the amount of fourth dimension and people on set up. Games are increasingly overtaking movie in job opportunities, and the Princeton Review has ranked SCA's game-design plan No. 1 for a decade. USC Games Expo is World's biggest university-sponsored gaming and esports event, and its Gerald A. Lawson Endowment Fund, financed partly by Have-Ii Interactive Software and Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios, supports Blackness and Indigenous students interested in game blueprint.
So what'south the downside? USC made headlines with recent scandals and several student suicides. It wasn't SCA's fault, but it couldn't help but besmirch the USC brand. And SCA is notorious for beingness much nicer to its successful grads. But you know what? Then is Hollywood.
2. AFI Conservatory
Small, elite AFI and gargantuan, elite USC perpetually duel for acme honors on best-film-school lists — last year AFI came out on pinnacle here — and the fact is that the David to USC's Goliath actually does just fine in bridging the gap between the academy and the industry. AFI grads take earned more than than 140 Oscar honors, including 9 nominations and two honorary Oscars since 2016, and 98 Emmy nominations with fourteen wins. No other school has swept the Educatee Academy Awards twice. Thesis films have copped 10 Oscar noms and two shiny gold men. AFI cinematographers earned 34 Oscar nominations and seven wins. This year'due south CODA scored grad Sian Heder the summit audience and jury prizes at the Sundance Film Festival and $25 million from Apple tree TV+. Most get-go- and second-year students are women, and virtually half are people of colour. New dean Susan Ruskin, who previously put the Academy of Northward Carolina School of the Arts on the national cinematic map, called AFI "a community that feels like a family." Yous'll be seated at a long family table that includes grads David Lynch, Carl Franklin, Patty Jenkins, Ed Zwick, Darren Aronofsky, Terrence Malick, Julie Dash and Paul Schrader.
3. New York Academy
Sure, NYU'south picture program (at present Tisch School of the Arts' Kanbar Institute of Motion-picture show and Television receiver) brought you Cannes jury president (at present NYU prof) Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Joel Coen, Chris Columbus, Morgan Spurlock, Ryan Fleck ("Captain Marvel"), cinematographer Rachel Morrison ("Blackness Panther"), Vince Gilligan ("Breaking Bad"), Damon Lindelof ("Watchmen") and "Pulp Fiction" editor Sally Menke. But what take they done for us lately? Jon Watts' "Spider-Man: No Way Home" joins his tingly billion-dollar franchise. "Nomadland" made alum Chloé Zhao the beginning woman of colour, commencement Chinese woman and 2nd adult female ever to win an Oscar for Best Manager (plus Best Picture show and Frances McDormand's All-time Actress win), plus Golden Globes for director and picture. Nia DaCosta, the first Black woman to direct a Marvel film ("Captain Marvel 2"), rebooted "Candyman." At the Emmys, 66 Tisch alumni got 64 nominations. At Tribeca Film Festival, there were 138 NYU alumni with 58 projects.
4. Chapman University
Plenty of schools gave the pandemic lip service, but Chapman Academy's Contrivance College of Motion picture and Media Arts recently spent $4 million upgrading classrooms and $750,000 on COVID protections, compliance supervisors and a full-fourth dimension COVID officeholder. The meliorate to sustain Dodge's run of good fortune — afterwards years getting less than its due thanks to its Orange Canton location, it'due south blossomed (and shot up in several film-school rankings) under dean Stephen Galloway, ex-Hollywood Reporter executive editor and longtime expert in mentoring programs. Stacey Abrams, Eva Longoria, Dana Walden, Samantha Bee and Jennifer Salke talked to students, and trustee-professor Scott Feinberg ran master classes with Bong Joon Ho, Ted Sarandos, Lena Waithe, Pete Medico and Bryan Cranston. Those classes are open to students at historically Black colleges in a plan with Morehouse College. Dodge's multimillion-dollar virtual production studio is in the works, starting with the new LED wall where students shoot in an environs worthy of "The Mandalorian." Over the past year and a half, Dodge has hired 25 function-time professors of color and increased the number of full-time Black professors from one to four.
v. CalArts
CalArts' School of Movie/Video, enriched by its multi-art schoolhouse context, has programs in film/video product, directing and grapheme and experimental animation. Its Hollywood rep rests on the 900-pound gorillas it unleashed on blitheness: Tim Burton, Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton, John Lasseter, Henry Selick, Rich Moore and Pete Docter, head of Disney's Pixar Animation, who collected his ninth Oscar nomination and tertiary win this year for "Soul." Grad Tariq Tapa said CalArts taught him "to recollect 10 moves in advance when staging activity for the photographic camera." Information technology moves careers correct forth: Cease-movement animator Kirsten Lepore won SXSW and Slamdance prizes; landed clients from Google to Facebook; directed an Emmy-winning Cartoon Network episode of "Take chances Fourth dimension"; and co-directed (with Lena Dunham) the Planned Parenthood animated brusque "100 Years," featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Constance Wu. Grad Daron Nefcy zoomed from Drawing Network'southward "MAD" ("I got to make my own mini-films!") to Nickelodeon to a full-time gig at Disney's "Star." "I think the reason then many alumni are running shows is that all animation students at CalArts take to make their ain films every year," Nefcy said. "Producing a TV show is like making a bunch of mini CalArts films. Y'all graduate with four films and, of course, your final motion picture is much improve than the first."
6. Emerson College
During COVID, alum Norman Lear and Bob Newhart Zoomed in to instruct Emerson'southward 1,700 Visual and Media Arts students. Lear was 1 of five Emerson Emmy winners this twelvemonth, and Erik Messerschmidt won the cinematography Oscar for "Mank," on top of his get-go Emmy nomination in 2020 for Netflix'south truthful-offense drama "Mindhunter." Emerson undergrads studied at the Boston dwelling house campus, at Emerson Fifty.A.'southward big, gorgeous Sunset Boulevard building, at Emerson's medieval castle in the Netherlands and in programs at Paris College of Art (some virtually, most in-person) and Prague's famed FAMU. While the Boston campus opens a new Emerging Media Lab and a Visual and Media Arts directing studio this term, Dean Robert Sabal said Emerson is looking beyond production: "It's an undergrad programme in a liberal arts context. We absolutely want students to take skills and networks to be employed, but too to have a broader range of habits and pedagogy that's going to serve them for a whole lifetime." It worked for alums Jay Leno, Richard LaGravenese, Adele Lim (who wrote "Crazy Rich Asians") and two who made the 2021 Forbes 30 Under thirty list, music PR amanuensis Lydia Liebman and games growth strategist Maddy Wojdak.
7. Columbia University
For a pocket-sized film programme, Columbia University School of the Arts looms remarkably large on the New York and national film scenes. Students make impressive films, the writing programs are extraordinary and grads report that when they walk into a Hollywood writer'due south room, they fit correct in and prosper. Roar-ee the Lion (Columbia's mascot) had much to get loud near in 2021, like the Emmys collected past alums for high-profile hits ("The Handmaid'south Tale," "Dick Johnson is Expressionless," "Lovecraft Land"), iv alum Oscar nominations, and top noms and wins by recent grads at Toronto, Cannes and Venice movie fests. But Columbia dropped one slot in TheWrap's rankings, no doubt thanks to a Wall Street Journal exposé noting that recent Columbia film alumni had the highest debt compared with earnings among graduates of whatever major university main's program in the U.S. — this at the nation'south eighth-richest private college. The problem is obviously non unique to Columbia, but the Journal's written report still stung. All the same, Roar-ee will proceed roaring for grads in the successful footsteps of alums Kathryn Bigelow, Jennifer Lee, Phil Johnson, James Mangold and the countless grads making history at Amazon, Disney, Hulu, Netflix, HBO, ABC, CBS, NBC and abroad.
8. UCLA
UCLA'south School of Theater, Film and Boob tube accepts simply iv% of undergrad applicants and 14% of grad applicants. They're all aiming to become iconic, similar grads Francis Ford Coppola, Alexander Payne, Alex Gibney, Allison Anders, Charles Burnett and Justin Lin, whose ninth "Fast and Furious" film fabricated $592 1000000. Four alums got 2021 Oscar noms, fourteen took films to Sundance and 20 got Emmy noms. Only UCLA's reputation took a beating after an eight-year review past its bookish senate found that TFT was plagued past feuding factions and "chronic operational and procedural problems." And instead of hiring a new dean to replace departing longtime chief Teri Schwartz, the schoolhouse named an acting dean, Brian Kite. He's a leading light of American theater who won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Joel Hirschhorn Honor — but since he's interim, the factions plain aren't peacefully on the aforementioned page yet. Ominously, TFT suspended all 2021 applications for master'southward programs while information technology does a comprehensive curriculum review. Still, UCLA remains a powerhouse, and that devastating report on TFT'due south political strife also found that pupil-faculty advising relationships are wonderful. At UCLA, your thesis flick can win Sundance celebrity like Patricia Vidal Delgado'southward coming-of-historic period flick "La leyenda negra." She called TFT "a filmmaking boot camp, 12 hours a 24-hour interval, 6 days a week," and as well a bonding experience with faculty and beau students. "You actually feel like they're your family."
nine. Loyola Marymount University
LMU'south hot Schoolhouse of Moving picture and Television hit a crash-land when picture show dean Peggy Rajski, who helped prepare the report on UCLA TFT's strife, was herself sacked later on reports of annoying beliefs. She was replaced by interim dean Bryant Keith Alexander, who remains as overall dean of LMU's College of Advice and Fine Arts. He'due south a big-deal educator with a sixth book out this yr, but he'll probable breathe easier when a new film dean arrives. In better news, LMU SFTV added the 24,000-square-foot Howard B. Fitzpatrick Pavilion, with screenwriting and AR/VR facilities and, soon, a Educatee Success Center to propel 700 budding film talents per year to careers as brilliant equally such LMU luminaries as Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, auteur Brian Helgeland, and Imagine Television president Francie Calfo. LMU launched a new minor in Interactive, Gaming and Immersive Media, and new faculty Rosanne Korenberg, the ex-Miramax and Twentieth Century Fob exec who brought you lot "I, Tonya" and "Boys Don't Cry" and launched Ryan Gosling and Elliot Page, leads the new joint programme with SFTV and LMU'south business school. Also new or contempo: a Motion-picture show Independent story-evolution residency, the SFTV Emerging Talent Lab with Hamlet Roadshow and a PA Bootcamp with Ryan Irish potato's Half Initiative and Ghetto Film School.
ten. Academy of North Carolina School of the Arts
Judging from UNCSA'southward illustrious record of success, the film earth would benefit by giving women more ability. UNCSA's last two incoming moving-picture show classes were majority female person, and with longtime flick dean Susan Raskin off to AFI, she'southward succeeded by new dean Deborah LaVine, who ran CalArts' grad directing plan and developed European commutation programs. "There is a unique opportunity at UNCSA with five arts conservatories on one campus for cross-collaborative experiences that mirror the way the industry is evolving," said LaVine, who's co-directing a new project with CODA co-star Troy Kotsur. Eminent alums include David Gordon Green and Danny McBride, plus the hordes of UNCSA talent working in Atlanta'south motion picture scene, including 11 alums who worked on "Jungle Cruise." Grad Zach Seivers got a BAFTA nom equally audio editor on Oscar-winning "Nomadland." UNCSA covers the cost of senior thesis films and charges significantly lower tuition than most other premiere picture show schools.
eleven. Savannah College of Art and Design
With more than than 6,000 students, 31 caste programs, 345,000 square feet of filmmaking facilities in historic Savannah and national film-product hotbed Atlanta and 63,000 annual visitors to its flick festival, SCAD stands tall in the moving picture world. Information technology'southward led by Peabody and SAG Honour-winning film and TV chair D.W. Moffett ("Traffic," "Chicago Med," "Bosch") and Schoolhouse of Entertainment Arts dean Andra Reeve-Rabb, ex-director of casting at CBS Primetime, New York. "We exercise information technology just like the pros," said Moffett. "We emphasize story over everything else." More than lxx SCAD grads and students worked on Barry Jenkins' "The Underground Railroad," and 130 worked on 21 Oscar-nominated films in 2021. Half of the films in the Best Picture category and 100% of the films in the Best Visual Furnishings category had SCAD grads working on them. Thanks to its impact and its autumn film fest — a major stop on the awards circuit — SCAD attracts more A-list celeb visitors than about West Declension film schools. New faculty this year: Emmy-winning producer/managing director/writer James Sadwith, whose shows have nabbed 35 Emmy and World noms, and Alan Caso, whose "George Wallace" miniseries won ASC'south Outstanding Achievement Honor.
12. Wesleyan Academy
Why did a liberal arts college located two,889 miles from Hollywood jump way up the best movie schools list this year? Information technology has to be the hoopla over the new $27 one thousand thousand, sixteen,000-foursquare-foot Jeanine Basinger Center for Film Studies. Retiring half a century later founding its celebrated College of Film and the Moving Epitome, Basinger is arguably America's most beloved film teacher — along with Martin Scorsese, with whom she's working to bring film studies to U.Southward. high schools. Her eponymous edifice contains a production studio, cyclorama, light-green screen and archives with the papers of Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Ingrid Bergman and Frank Capra. "We aren't a film school in the traditional sense," Centre director Scott Higgins said, "nonetheless more than 400 Wesleyan graduates have careers as writers, directors, producers, actors, editors, directors of photography, acquisitions and evolution executives, agents, critics and archivists." Thank Wesleyan for Michael Bay, Joss Whedon, Akiva Goldsman, Dana Delany, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bradley Whitford and Nomadland producer Dan Janvey.

Teach the art of thinking cinematically."
thirteen. ArtCenter College of Design
"Where better to learn how to write visual narratives than at a motion-picture show programme within an fine art and design college?" said film chair Ross LaManna, who but added screenwriting to the directing, cinematography and editing tracks. "Our teaching philosophy doesn't only level the playing field, information technology tilts the field toward the talented and resourceful. Our mission is to prepare students not just to exist the all-time narrative visual storytellers, but to be prepared to stride into jobs that don't exist yet." Alums: Michael Bay (who did his graduate work here) and Alex Gilbert, manager of 2021 Cannes Young Manager Award-winning documentary "Balloon Boy." Alum and board trustee Zack Snyder headed a fundraising bulldoze to refurbish the Ahmanson Auditorium, turning the crumbling theater into a country-of-the-art movie theatre with 4K digital, 35mm, Dolby Atmos and HDR color grading.
xiv. Academy of Texas at Austin

But RTF'southward ane,160 students also participate in the nationally noted SXSW fest and impact the manufacture. Matthew McConaughey is an RTF professor and an alum who infused Hollywood with Texas movie moxie — sort of like Wes Anderson, Renée Zellweger, the Duplass brothers, Tommy Schlamme, Jordan Levin, Jennifer Howell, Michael Barker and "Leave" executive producer Raymond Mansfield. Mary Steenburgen, Keith Carradine, Edie Falco and Blake Lively have come up to Texas to brand movies with UT students.

"Filmmaking is quite a challenge during COVID," said plan director Jamie Meltzer. "Documentary filmmakers have been struggling with how to connect and create during a time when the very nature of what we do has to exist changed and reinvented." But Meltzer got inventive and produced a doc, and and so did his MFA students like Azza Cohen, who said the virus "actually forced us to be extremely creative and push our boundaries. Nosotros can bargain with whatsoever other possible hurdles that Hollywood can throw at u.s.a.." Stanford film alums have won dozens of Student Academy Awards, 20 NATAS awards, eight Fulbrights, ii DGA awards and exposure from PBS to HBO.
xvi. Florida State University
Sometimes regarded as a manufacturing plant that trains students who pay remarkably low tuition to work for remarkably low salaries in Florida's booming showbiz industry, FSU has been getting more than and more prestigious lately. Four of Barry Jenkins' fellow FSU grads earned Oscar noms for "Moonlight" along with him, and when Jenkins got two Emmy noms for "The Undercover Railroad," his FSU cinematographer pal (and Oscar-nominated cinematographer) James Laxton again also got honored. And then did four other 2021 FSU Emmy nominees. The highbrow DGA has hailed FSU's "distinguished contribution to American civilization through the earth of film and television."

Cunningham, who later added producing Emmy noms for Amy Schumer, Louis C.Grand. and Amy Sedaris specials, chalks it up to RISD's teaching her almost the whole shebang: costumes, ready design, props, cinematography, visual effects, graphic design, title design and photography. "Information technology took 10 years of hard work to get my foot in the door," she said. "No one is going to walk up and offer you a 1000000 dollars to directly a film right after graduation."
