Olympic College's Digital Filmmaking program offers

students a unique blend of film theory and practical

hands-on training. Our students learn the craft and

techniques of narrative storytelling while acquiring the

technical skills and artistic sensibilities necessary to

compete in the new emerging frontier of digital

filmmaking.

Our curriculum integrates concentrated classroom study

of all the major filmmaking disciplines with intensive

hands-on experience in student film projects, because

our philosophy stipulates that the fruits of theory realize

full maturity in the practical application of the art.

While the focus of our program is the narrative fiction

film, the artistic and technical skills acquired by our

students are transferable to television, commercials,

documentaries, music videos, and the blossoming new

arena of episodic web content. This program is dedicated

to serving the authentic needs of the modern dramatic

artists of the 21st century.

Our educational philosophy clearly declares that the

contemporary dramatic artist is a digital artist. This is of

vital importance because knowledge and training in

digital movie making means higher employment for our

students upon graduation
