Why Study Film at EKU?
Some people think that filmmaking is just about making videos with your friends, editing them on iMovie and playing DVD’s for their family or classmates or posting them on YouTube. But there is so much more than shooting and editing!
Filmmaking is a sophisticated combination of Art, Science and Business. When you study Film Techniques and Technology at EKU, you’re not just learning how to operate a camera or use a video editing program, you’re also gaining skills that will benefit you in almost any profession.
