An affordable gem in the north San Fernando Valley, CSUN offers students practical, hands on production and media management courses and experience. “We focus on producing ‘complete filmmakers’ — creatives who are technically proficient but also understand the business and the evolving nature of global distribution,” says Jared Rappaport, chair, Dept. of Cinema and Television Arts. “We are moving toward a model that emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, ensuring our students aren’t just masters of a single craft, but are ‘hyphenate’ creators — writer-director-producers — who can navigate the shifts from virtual production to independent transmedia storytelling.”
