Testimonials

Their Story, Their Voice

You've put together an incredible program that allows writers to have the opportunity to learn how it is in the marketplace. I was impressed with the quality of the pitches and how well the students communicated their ideas. It was obvious they had been well-taught.

Documentary filmmaking is very important for our culture and it’s continued development. They help us to understand each other better, often exposing us to personal fears and unpleasant superstitions toward the “other”.

I have been participating in NYFA events for a couple of years now, and I am always impressed by the caliber of the students and the quality of the teachers. I would recommend NYFA to anyone who is serious about breaking into the industry!

Before I had only worked in theatre. As a student I learnt the intimacy that the camera has with an actor. It’s most certainly an adjustment. James Price helped me understand the importance of being “raw” with your emotions as an actor.

When you have ten film ideas, choose the one that you personally respond to at an emotional level. For your thesis film, tell your OWN story and be sincere.

I'm really thrilled to keep in touch with all of you who inspired me to make my first feature film. I am happy to say "The Outhouse" was the official Indian entry to Cannes. I am also the recipient of two Best New Director Awards at the national and international levels. All this happened due to NYFA.

It's been a beautiful summer here in Denmark. Right now, I'm working as a freelancer for the United International Pictures Denmark, in their publicity department. So far, I've been a part of movies such as "Gladiator," "Shrek," "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," "MI:2," "The Fast and the Furious," "Traffic," "The Mummy Returns," "Cast Away," and others; but that's not all. I've had the pleasure of being a part of the crew for the new Thomas Vintererg film, "It's All About Love," starring Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes.
