The Seattle Film Institute (SFI) is a film school, founded in Seattle, WA in 1994. SFI offers part-time classes, bachelors degrees, masters degrees and certificate programs in film and digital video production.
Curriculum
SFI offers both full-time and part-time programs.
A Master of Arts degree in Film Production focuses on the producing and business aspects of film, from pre-production to exhibition. The Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking is an intensive full-time program covering screenwriting, directing, camera and lighting, editing, and producing. The MFA is hands on, and students produce many individual and group projects. The Master of Music in Film Composition trains composers in the art of scoring music for motion pictures.
In 2013 SFI began offering a B.A. completion degree, with thematic emphasis choices in Filmmaking, Audio Production for Film, and Motion Graphics, with Acting for Film and Animation planned for Fall 2014. The completion degree enables students to transfer an AA degree or general education credits from other colleges to obtain a full Bachelor of Arts degree. SFI also has a joint degree program with Central Washington University.
The full-time certificate program is a 40 week intensive program awarding a Certificate in Film Production upon successful completion of all classes, at least 10 group and individual film and video projects, and a feature length screenplay. Classes meet four to five days a week, in Film History, Screenwriting, Tools of Production, and Post Production.
Part-time program classes are offered individually both evenings and weekends. Part Time classes cover screenwriting, film production, video production, film history, film business and distribution, editing, lighting, and audio editing, among others.
