The New York Film Academy School of Film and Acting was founded on the philosophy that ``learning by doing'' combined with best industry practices is more valuable than years of theoretical study for filmmakers and actors. This educational model allows students to achieve more in less time then at any other film school and acting school in the world.

Our hands-on approach has received acclaim from Hollywood filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, Pierce Brosnan, Brett Ratner, Susan Sarandon, Melanie Griffith, and Kevin Kline among many others. Most of whom have sent their son or daughter to our school.
