I was in the 2019-2021 batch. My experience has been wonderful. The teachers were great and classrooms provided a very friendly learning experience. Best thing about the school is that you get to work with industry standard professional gear to make your films, which helps transitioning smoothly to your professional career afterwards.

Confederation college's film program offers great access to film equipment that is not available with other programs. The program allowed us to have a broader understanding of film which helped greatly when moving into doing industry work. The professors were very kind and always there to give advice and help out. After graduating from the program I was able to effectively transition into working on big-budget productions. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to get into the film industry.
