We help students develop the unique skills needed for successful careers in film and television. You will work with the latest equipment and with professors who are also industry professionals.

Why choose Mt. SAC?

INDUSTRY-CONNECTED FACULTY: All of our professors are working industry professionals. Each semester other industry professionals are invited as guest lecturers to provide their behind-the-scenes look at the production field.  

IN-DEPTH LEARNING:  The classes combine lecture with hands-on training using the same equipment and software found in major studios and television production companies. Students will learn the three basic types of production: single-camera film style, multi-camera TV studio, multi-camera sports. In addition, students explore every stage of production and post-production, from screenwriting to editing and visual effects. Specialty courses in reality show production, audio production and film history are also offered.

WORK EXPERIENCE: Our students intern at the top TV stations in Southern California along with major television networks and stations and film  production and post-production companies. Industry professionals often call us looking for interns and entry-level job candidates based on their past great experiences with our students.
