About us

New York Film Academy

The New York Film Academy was founded in 1992 by Jerry Sherlock, a former film, television and theatre producer. Their philosophy is based on a "learning by doing" approach, which every curriculum stems from. They offer an intensive, hands-on, and total immersion approach to learning. The Film Academy is also honored to be the film school of choice for many Hollywood filmmakers, actors, and figures from the entertainment and media world. Every year, hundreds of Chinese students join the NYFA summer camps.

Since 2016, the New York Film Academy (NYFA) has partnered with ASEEDER to offer professional filmmaking courses tailored for middle school students. This program provides Asian students with the opportunity to access authentic American film education. In September 2024, the program will launch its NYFA Filmmaking Winter School in New York, where students will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the "inspiration birthplace" of countless film in New York. They will deeply experience local culture, earn an official certificate and produce personal film works, all of which will strengthen their applications to prestigious universities in the future.

Teaching Methodology

Courses given in English

Offer an intensive, hands-on, total immersion approach to learning

Teaching philosophy

Filmmaking needs lots of knowledge. The combination of that knowledge is what makes the New York Film Academy different. In this course, students not only learn how to use cameras, lights, film editing software, they also gain relevant film knowledge.

In line with the mission and philosophy of the New York Film Academy, this program is intensive and focused on hands-on learning. In the NYFA film camps, each student writes, shoots, directs and edits his or her own films. Our film camps are designed for people with little or no experience in making films. This program focuses on the fundamental elements of visual storytelling that enable the participants to direct their own projects.
