You belong at Interlochen.

The Motion Picture Arts major at Interlochen Arts Academy boarding high school provides students in grades 9-12 a progressive and interdisciplinary education through a variety of production and theory-based courses in digital film, screenwriting and related arts (theatre, visual arts, dance and music). Production experience is the primary focus of a curriculum also designed to provide practical training, basic and advanced skills, a foundation in film studies, and confidence for college-level work in film and media arts.
