What Is FMI?

Filmmaker Institute is a production company that prioritizes the development of new and experienced filmmakers through an innovative digital learning approach. The formation of FMI was inspired by a conviction that Film and Television education could be more accessible and affordable while achieving critical industry relevance. These learning goals are accomplished by collaborating with industry professionals to create interactive learning experiences while also maintaining an active commercial production schedule. The latter provides students access to invaluable, real-world working experiences. Each course is delivered through a “Digital Textbook” and can be used in at least three basic ways. The first application can simply be as an assigned textbook in a standard brick and mortar film and television school environment. A student attending a “film production bootcamp” is a second application for the Digital Textbooks. The third is where the student can simply take the course on their own’. Those students that choose this approach will have the option to sign-up and attend pop-up seminars that facilitate access to and experience with the latest production and post-production tools.
