About Us
Lights Film School is
an online film education provider. We offer an intensive 4 month film
program where our students gain practical and theoretical knowledge about the
film creation and distribution process.
Our course is project
based, not time based and is located 100% online. Therefore, although we
provide a 4 month timeline, our students
can choose to finish the course quicker or take longer than 4 months if they
wish.
During the duration of the
online film course our film students will be required to write & read scripts,
write essays on film directors and create numerous video projects.
Our hands on, practical
film course equips our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel
in the film industry. Whether our students enter the market as employees
(directors, production designers, sound or camera personnel), or they start
their own independent production studios, they will have the tools necessary to
excel in their careers. This is because they will be equipped with a solid
foundation of theoretical understanding of how films are made and enough
practical experience to feel confident doing their jobs properly.
If you have any questions
please don't hesitate to contact us. We're more than glad to help.
