Film and Television Production – Interactive Media Development

Experiential learning

No textbooks! Just great teachers and technology to:

• Provide well-rounded skills by performing all production and crew functions in studio, field and post-production environments.
• Specialize with crew rotations in your area of interest and choose specific roles in digital filmmaking, remote event production and content creation for clients.
• Produce creative, interactive content on multiple platforms, broadcasting across Canada and to the world.
• Participate in studio tours and seminars such as the TIFF Bell Lightbox Series.
• Scripts written in the first year and developed in the second come to life on the big screen in the final year with a public screening.
• The annual live awards show ‘The Sparkies’ celebrates academic achievements with awards presented to students in all three years of the program. The recipient of the Dome Award, chosen from first-year students, receives $2,000 towards tuition.

Our students get great placements! Cap off your second and third years of study with on-the-job experience:

• Research and apply for a four-week field placement in your second year, gaining valuable experience and industry contacts.
• Finish your studies with a four-week placement.
• Students have done placements with CBC, Bell TV, Rogers Sportsnet, TSN, Citytv, Canwest Global, CTV, Corus Entertainment, Blue Ant Media, Hughes Integration, Shaw Media, Evertz Microsystems, Ross Video, many radio stations, and media companies around the world.
