FILMMAKING

Filmbites was founded back in 2003 as a film school first, our filmmaking course is the oldest element of our identity as a school. Founded by Hallie McKeig and expanded upon by Tim Green our curriculum is written by industry professionals, and taught by them, too.

Learn how to translate your ideas onto the big screen. Filmbites Filmmaking course spans over six different levels; starting with Beginner Filmmaking the students are introduced to basic story theory, how to run a set, 

All the way up to Advanced level filmmaking where the students spend a whole year on their keystone project; a short film written and directed by the student. The class cover pitching, producing and how to navigate film festivals. 

Many of our graduating students have gone on to study at a tertiary level and even work in the industry to this day.
