Confederation College’s Film Production two-year diploma program provides a comprehensive overview of virtually every aspect of film production including directing, scriptwriting, lighting, cinematography, editing, art direction, production design, sound mixing, and the business of film. With a high teacher-to-student ratio and the best equipment-to-student ratio, students get more instruction and better access to equipment than many similar programs in Canada. Students will get hands-on training so they learn by doing: write, plan, direct, shoot, edit, mix, colour grade, and deliver their final cut. Students will make three films during the program starting right away in their first year. Students will have 24/7 access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment such as the industry-heralded Arri Alexa camera.

Graduates of the program go on to a variety of entry-level positions including Production Assistant, Editing Assistant, Camera Assistant and Sound Assistant. After experience and time in the industry, graduates may move up to higher positions including Director, Writer, Editor, Director of Cinematography, Sound designer, Art Director and Producer. Many of Confederation College's graduates are freelance (self-employed) and/or establish their own production companies.
