Overview
Film at Cornish focuses on the development of the writer-director’s original vision and, at the same time, ensures that students learn the tools they need to express that vision. They learn to write, to light, to direct actors, to move the camera (and why it must sometimes stay still), as well as the way story works in a variety of film forms.
