The Carolina Film Institute�s innovative 40 Week Total Immersion Filmmaking Program provides a comprehensive education in all aspects of filmmaking. For ten intense months, students live, eat and breathe filmmaking�in class and on the set. At graduation, students have transformed their dreams and passions into a practical start to their career�an internship, a job in film or video, or directing their first independent film. Film Institutes of America selected Greenville, SC as the location for its first expansion after engaging in a nationwide evaluation. Greenville was selected for three main reasons. As a regional center, Greenville is within easy striking distance of an impressive list of cities including Atlanta, GA, Memphis, TN, Raleigh-Durham, NC, Charleston, SC, and Jacksonville, Fl. Greenville is also at the geographic center of states that have incredible incentive programs for filmmakers. Nationwide, it�s hard to find incentive programs that are much better than those offered by South Carolina, North Carolina, and Louisiana. Finally, Greenville, SC was chosen as the location for Carolina Film Institute because of its cosmopolitan atmosphere and its livability�it�s a true destination for students from both the region, across the United States or around the world. In addition to the 40 Week Total Immersion Filmmaking Program, the Carolina Film Institute offers part-time classes in film production, screenwriting, documentary, and digital video production as well as a summer teen filmmaking program.
