Overview
 At the San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking the film set is your classroom whether you're directing your own film, writing your first screenplay, or working with professionals on a feature. For aspiring filmmakers, screenwriters or film actors, our film school gives you the three most valuable tools you need to start your career - a reel of your own work, credits on student and professional projects, and contacts in the industry.
Our film school curriculum is entirely project-based, allowing you to develop your skills hands-on while bringing your creative ideas to life. We have a powerfully simple philosophy "the best way to learn the craft of filmmaking is to make films!"
As a student of Digital Filmmaking, Screenwriting or Film Acting you're mentored by award-winning industry professionals in small classes. Students work on professional sound stages, use state-of-the-art High Definition filmmaking equipment, and make tough creative and technical decisions.
San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking is the only film school in the country offering every student the valuable experience of crewing on a professional feature-length motion picture through its sister company, Fog City Pictures. As a part of the Digital Filmmaking Program's curriculum, students work directly under professional filmmakers. This is not an internship. It is an apprenticeship, where students are mentored and work side-by-side with industry professionals in key positions. Students working on Fog City Pictures feature films are actively involved in the professional filmmaking community and also get a valuable "credit" for their work on the film. Fog City Pictures and SFSDF submit these films to festivals, look for distribution outlets, and theatrical release.
