Here, Film & Television Production is more than just a place to learn filmmaking. We are a creative community where artists, storytellers, and collaborators come together to discover their voices and bring their visions to life. Our students learn by doing, gaining hands-on experience in every stage of the filmmaking process while working alongside dedicated faculty and passionate peers. Whether a student dreams of directing, producing, cinematography, editing, making social media, or working in new and emerging media, they will find a supportive environment that encourages artistic risk-taking, professional growth, and meaningful collaboration.
We have tailor made both the MFA program and the undergraduate major in Film & Television Production to be a dynamic degree that prepares students not only for careers in the film industry but also for lives as creative leaders and engaged citizens. Students will graduate with strong technical skills, confidence in their artistic voices, and the ability to work effectively in diverse creative teams. Equally important, we foster a culture where every student feels welcomed, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Film is one of the most powerful ways we share stories, build empathy, and shape culture. Our department/faculty and staff are committed to helping students develop the craft, vision, and resilience necessary to tell stories that matter and to become part of a vibrant, creative community.
Whether through our main campus program or European satellite program in Bonn, Germany; LMU SFTV is the perfect place to be! We hope you’ll have an amazing time learning and growing as a filmmaker and as a human.
Thank you for exploring our department and our undergraduate and graduate programs. I encourage all prospective students to contact us for more information.
