The UCLA Master of Fine Arts degree in production with an emphasis in directing is a three- to four-year program designed to develop artists in film, television and digital media. For more than half a century we have trained students in all the arts and crafts of media production while expanding their understanding of the critical, theoretical and historical components of these art forms. Our goal is to infuse the highest standards of craftsmanship with imaginative freedom and a sense of social responsibility. Alumni include Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather), Alexander Payne (Nebraska, The Descendants), Alex Gibney (Going Clear, Taxi to the Dark Side), Alison Anders (Mi Vida Loca, Gas, Food, Lodging), Julie Dash (Daughters of the Dust), Charles Burnett (To Sleep With Anger, Killer of Sheep), Justin Lin (Better Luck Tomorrow, Fast and Furious 6, Star Trek Beyond), Caveh Zahedi (The Sheik and I, I Am a Sex Addict) and cinematographer Dagmar Weaver-Madsen (10,000 km, Unexpected).

The Curriculum:

The first year of the program is an intensive workshop in the collaborative process of production that culminates in each student completing two short films. The curriculum includes screenwriting, directing narrative and documentary, cinematography, editing, post production and production planning.
