Overview

College Diploma in Film Production

What do Avengers: Endgame, Pirates of the Caribbean, Stranger Things and Suicide Squad all have in common? Grads of the Confederation College film production program worked on those productions.

Confederation College’s Film Production two-year diploma program provides a comprehensive overview of virtually every aspect of film production including directing, scriptwriting, lighting, cinematography, editing, art direction, production design, sound mixing, and the business of film. 

With a high teacher-to-student ratio and the best equipment-to-student ratio, you get more instruction and better access to equipment than many similar programs in Canada. 

You’ll get hands-on training so you’ll learn by doing: write, plan, direct, shoot, edit, mix, colour grade, and deliver your final cut. You’ll make three films during the program starting right away in your first year

You will have 24/7 access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment such as the industry-heralded Arri Alexa camera.

Top Highlights

  • Every student gets to direct their own films with a full crew
  • All film equipment is supplied by the program – students do not need to rent any gear to make their films
  • Access to state-of-the-art production facilities 24/7
  • The year-end film festival allows students to showcase their work on the big screen with big sound for the whole community
  • Fourth-semester students travel to Toronto to learn more about the film business and meet past grads
