Filmmaking Study Abroad Programs

Filmmaking is an artform that is highly regarded around the world. No matter where you go there is a demand for the entertainment which films provide. By traveling to different parts of the world to study filmmaking abroad, you will develop a broader scope of ways in which films are made and distributed. Being a successful filmmaker relies heavily on knowing your audience, and to become an internationally acclaimed filmmaker you must understand the artistic standards and expectations of various cultures. Studying filmmaking abroad is a great first step toward achieving this cultural understanding.

I had the time of my life in Thailand!

by: Riley Bishop - United StatesProgram: TEAN - Thailand - Semester in Thailand, Bangkok
9

Studying abroad in Thailand was genuinely the best decision I ever made. If you are looking for an experience completely different from what everyone else is doing...go to Thailand! Almost every single weekend I was able to travel to different places within Southeast Asia. I went to a total of six countries while I was there and it was actually so easy to travel and get around. From planes to trains to buses to ferries, all modes of transportation are so close and can take you wherever you need to go! Also, the university you attend isn't placed at the heart of the city so you have the chance to escape the busyness every once in a while! No, your apartment will not have a kitchen, but that is never a problem! First of all, it's cheaper to eat out than it is to cook in Thailand and secondly, you are a 30 second walk from a bunch of authentic food spots. All factors considered, I would recommend studying abroad in Thailand with TEAN any day!

A Guide to Studying Filmmaking Abroad

Why Study Filmmaking Abroad

Highly respected film schools and film study abroad programs can be found all over the world, all of which have different benefits to offer depending on the culture of the location. Each culture will offer unique techniques and access to different technology that will broaden your filmmaking abilities. But something that cannot be taught in film school is personal experience. The experiences you acquire subjectively are what will ultimately make for the truest and most meaningful films. Through studying filmmaking abroad you will naturally experience new situations, people, and events that will take you away from your everyday routine and into the creative mindset needed to produce a successful film.
