Media & Entertainment Training
Filmmaking is a technical art incorporating aspects of physics and chemistry. The craft skills required to develop and produce video art must be learned, practiced, and improved upon. The NUKHU FOUNDATION works with long-time filmmaking professionals to provide access to expert training for the next generation of media creators. Students are able to acquire video development, production, and post-production skills and contribute to the media and entertainment industries.
