Writing for Film & Television

Toronto Film School understands that aspiring writers are looking for educational opportunities that are both skills-oriented and industry-based. That’s why their Writing for Film & TV diploma program teaches both the creative and business sides of writing, with assignments based on real-world challenges.

Here’s what students can expect: an 18-month, on-campus program modelled on industry writing rooms. Students will learn how to turn their ideas into saleable, commercial formats ready for production. Students will graduate with a portfolio of work for prospective employers, and with the knowledge they need to fill any number of creative roles, including: Screenwriter, Story Editor, Editor, Production Executive, Studio Executive, Producer, Director and Staff Writer.

Bachelor of Creative Arts degree pathway

A creative diploma from Toronto Film School qualifies students for entry into Yorkville University’s Bachelor of Creative Arts (BCA) degree program, which can be completed in as few as 15 months. The BCA is designed to round out their education by teaching students the practical business and leadership skills needed for a successful career in the creative arts. With this degree, graduates will then be eligible to apply to Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP), where they can obtain a work permit valid for up to 3 years.
