I’ve been studying in the Bachelor of Motion Picture Arts program at Capilano University for the past two years, and overall, it’s been an amazing experience. The program offers a deep dive into both the creative and technical aspects of filmmaking. From scriptwriting to cinematography and post-production, you get a well-rounded education that prepares you for the industry.

One of the best parts of this program is the hands-on approach. You get to work on multiple film projects, both individually and as part of a team, which really helps develop your skills and build a portfolio. The equipment and facilities are top-notch, and you’ll have access to industry-standard gear like high-end cameras and editing software. Plus, the small class sizes allow for a lot of personalized attention from professors, many of whom have years of experience working in the film industry.
