Catalog 2020-2021 MESSAGE from the PRESIDENT Seattle Film Institute Catalog 2020-2021 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to SFI: The Big Picture Students come to Seattle Film Institute because they have a passion for film. SFI takes full advantage of its location in the heart of Seattle and is proud to be the only accredited film school in the Northwest and that it has prepared students for successful careers for twenty-five years. SFI’s programs feature a hands-on education where students learn real-world skills as they are guided by a mentor-based faculty anchored by experienced and working professional filmmakers who provide the foundation necessary to launch careers in today’s fast-paced film environment. SFI offers accelerated undergraduate and graduate programs with choices of on-ground, online, and hybrid schedules featuring: Filmmaking Digital Arts, Animation & Game Design Acting For Film Producing Audio Production & Sound Design Composing for Film At SFI, all of its diverse programs and its robust curriculum live together in one space. The Filmmaking students are across the hall from the Acting for Film students. The Composing for Film students meet up with film directors, sound designers, and editors in the lounge to talk around ideas. The Digital Arts, Animation, & Game Design students and Audio Production & Sound Design students are not only working on their own projects but are also working with the filmmaking and producing programs. Everyone at Seattle Film Institute is not only learning the specifics of their individual craft, but they are also learning and collaborating together—literally from their very first minute at Seattle Film Institute. This, then is SFI’s “secret” ingredient—a film school where the filmmakers, the actors, the producers, the sound designers, the animators and game designers, and the composers are all learning and working in an intensely collaborative and hands-on environment together at a school large enough to house a film studio but where everyone is together all in one building. Welcome to the Seattle Film Institute. David J. Shulman President Seattle Film Institute—Official Catalog: 2020-2021 1 The Online Catalog (OC) is the official Seattle Film Institute compilation for all certificate and degree programs. The OC is available at https://www.sfi.edu/admissions/catalog. The OC will serve as the basis for all graduate, undergraduate, and non-degree certificate program requirements for the academic year. Students must follow the catalog that was current at the time of their admittance for all program-related requirements. For current policy and curriculum requirements refer to the SFI online catalog. The production of a printed catalog will take place following the freezing of the OC for that year. The Online Catalog is issued on an annual basis. Current students (or any other individual) may obtain a printed copy of this catalog at the main administrative offices of the Seattle Film Institute.
