Mission

The mission of the Colorado Film School is three-fold:

1. The Colorado Film School is dedicated to pre-professional training of students planning careers in the film and video industries. It focuses on the intersection of art, technology and commerce as it relates to narrative audio/video techniques. An educational philosophy that encourages industry-engaged projects and hands-on instructional methods underlies the program.

Students who complete the program have a professional level portfolio and are qualified to either work anywhere in the field of their chosen emphasis or continue their education in a graduate program.

2. The Colorado Film School acts as a catalyst for local film and video production, challenging, enabling, and stimulating growth through original production, state-of-the-art training and through development of a strong, diverse pool of Colorado residents who are skilled in all aspects of the film and video industries.

3. The Colorado Film School aims to serve as an industry-wide resource for research and development in production by expanding its boundaries of technology and creative expression, and by exploring new models for funding and distributing film and video production.
