How they teach
Feedback, on the floor.
Because cohorts stay small, mentors work shoulder-to-shoulder with you — at the camera, in the edit bay, on the day. You get notes you can use immediately, not at the end of a semester.
- Direct critique on your shots, cuts, and directing choices
- Demonstrations on real gear, then you run it
- Industry context — how it actually works on a paid set
- Connections that outlast the bootcamp
