All the teachers have very strong credibility in their area of practice and study, and it is very admirable that they don’t view students as another number. They greatly value students reaching out to them, and asking for guidance. It can be difficult being a BIPOC as you may feel isolated, or that your ideas may be undervalued, but the teachers encourage the stories and narratives that they’re not familiar with. As I’m entering my final year, I can definitely say that I learned a lot, especially in regard to networking and understanding how to operate within the film industry. This is an amazing school, and I encourage BIPOC students to attend to show power in numbers, it’s the only way we see those numbers reflected in the industry.
