Chaired by Bob Giraldi

The MPS Directing program at SVA NYC is a one-year masters program in film directing. The program is designed to provide a holistic approach to director’s craft. Students will develop the intellectual and practical tools for directing film. Curriculum will focus on the art of visual storytelling; story development from script to screen, directing actors, and understanding and utilizing cinematic tools to tell a compelling visual narrative. With the guidance of our award-winning faculty, students will cultivate original ideas for successful, inventive films. The 30 credit course of study also addresses the historical and critical context of film as an art form, its political and socio-cultural dimensions, and comparative study of theories for understanding film and video. The program culminates in a thesis-based short film festival held at the SVA Theatre.
