MovieMaker Magazine recently released its list of the Top 30 Film Schools in the US and Canada and Southern Oregon University in Ashland made the list.
Southern Oregon University’s Digital Cinema Program benefits from strong connections to the local production scene: Students can work on commercial shoots, independent feature films, and short films, as well as fill important staff roles at the Ashland Independent Film Festival.
Following a campus reorganization, Digital Cinema is now in the same school as Theater, Design, Fine Arts, Creative Writing, and Emerging Media/Digital Arts, which has created more opportunities for students to collaborate across disciplines. Other opportunities include the unique 12-credit course, The Crew Experience, a term-length production immersion boot camp in which 30 to 40 students participate in the making of a short film from beginning to end. SOU is part of the Green Film School Alliance, and its commitment to the environment includes investing in a state-of-the-art LED lighting grid that will decrease energy use by 75% while adding production capabilities.
