NFI (Nashville Film Institute)

Director Monty Miranda stopped by our recent acting class, led by the incredible Marta Martin, to guide students through setting up lighting and camera for self-tapes and reels. 🎬

There are so many benefits to being part of our acting program—just ask our student River, who has already been cast in several projects in and around NFI!

Huge thanks to Monty for sharing his expertise and to Marta for leading such a fantastic class.

Film school is hard work! 😴🎬

Enjoy this photo evidence of our student, Apple, catching a few quick naps in some very creative places between productions and classes.

While she usually prefers to stay behind the camera, we’re grateful to have this proof of life so we can give her a well-deserved shoutout. Apple brings SO much to the community here at NFI, and we’re lucky to have her.

We can’t believe we only have a few weeks left with her before graduation—we’re going to miss her! 👏✨

We’re super proud of our alumni, John! 🎬👏

He recently attended HorrorHound, where his script Chihua Wolf was nominated for Best Feature—and even had a live table read during the festival! 🔥

John has been staying busy and continues to do exciting things since graduating, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for him.

Lights, camera… everything. 🎬

The hustle is real today—classrooms full of students and a full-scale production happening right here on campus. American Aavi continues filming, and we’re proud to be part of bringing it to life.

Huge shoutout to all the students and staff jumping in and making it happen. There’s film around every corner here at NFI. 👏🎥

We can’t wait to see the final cut of our student .thornton3 narrative short 🎬

It’s already looking incredible. Her eye for visual storytelling is so strong. We love to see it 👏✨

Lights, sirens… and a few confused neighbors. 🚨🎬

While filming a scene for the upcoming film American Aavi, our crew had Gallatin looking a little too real with picture cars, sirens, and actors in uniform. Someone understandably called it in—but once the Sheriff arrived and realized it was a movie set, he was kind enough to stick around for a photo with the cast and crew.

We’re grateful to the Gallatin Sheriff’s Office for stopping by, keeping things safe, and being such good sports about it.

Proud to have NFI former and current students and staff involved in bringing this project to life. Stay tuned… 👀🎥

Our 09/25 cohort is almost at the finish line 🥹

Here’s some BTS from filming their final narrative projects. Watching these students grow over the past nine months has been incredible, and we can’t wait to see the final films. We’re so proud of this class.
