WHAT WE DO
At high Definition Film Academy [HDFA] we offer an intensive, hands-on, total immersion approach to learning, no previous experience is required, because we believe “it’s in you”.
OUR APPROACH
We subject our students to a rigorous schedule of classroom lectures, hands-on workshops & immediate experience. Our philosophy is that “practice makes perfect”, and so from the first week of each program our students are introduced to practical; they start to write, shoot, direct, and edit their own films. We allow them to make trials and errors, make mistakes and correct them, ask questions and get answers.
