Chicago Film School

Interested in Chicago Film Schools?

Lights Film School is now accepting enrollments in our Chicago film school. Our program is offered exclusively online which means that you will pay a small fraction of the enrollment fees paid by other bricks and mortar film courses.

however, the quality of our course material is on par with those of colleges and universities. We use two large and reputable text books (over 1000 pages of learning materials), DVD's, and lecture notes to guide you through our film program.

Once you enroll in our Chicago film school you will be sent all of your learning material and you can start learning right away. Our program takes about 4 months to complete but you since our Chicago film school is project based and not time based you may choose to take longer or go through the learning material as quickly as possible.

With our film course being focused on the process of 'creation' you will graduate our film school with an impressive portfolio of film projects which you will have completed. At Lights Film School we are more interested in our students going out there and getting experience with writing, directing, filming and editing footage. We do have a testing component to our course as well and you will need to write a final exam however most of our course focuses on teaching you the fundamentals of filmmaking and then we create dynamic and challenging assignments for you to complete.

This practical, hands on experience is a great way for you to immerse yourself in the exciting and rewarding film industry.

Visit our homepage to learn more about our course enrollment fees, our film course curriculum and our grant program.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
