Instructors

A school is truly defined by its faculty and curriculum:
A computer lab alone does not make a digital
media program.

A truly comprehensive program is brought to life by instructors who are respected members of their field. As no one person can master every aspect of visual effects production, experienced individuals who each have their own areas of expertise teach our courses.

Here are some of the Film, Game, and Broadcast Television studios that our instructors come from:
