"I learned more apprenticing for Francis Coppola and Kurosawa than I did in three years of film school. I aim to provide that same transformative experience for you."
-Christopher Copppola
Transition from student to professional by joining the front lines of a working film set.For the first time since my tenure as Director of the Film Department at SFAI, I am opening a limited number of Directed Study positions. This isn't a traditional classroom experience; it is a high-intensity, two-week apprenticeship during the pre-production and production of my upcoming film, Crazy Faust.I’ve always believed that you learn more in two weeks on a professional set than in two years of theory.
