TFS Named to MovieMaker Magazine’s 2023 List of the 25 Best Film Schools
TORONTO, ON – July 26, 2023 – Toronto Film School has been named one of MovieMaker Magazine’s 25 Best Film Schools in the U.S. and Canada of 2023 for the fifth consecutive year.
The esteemed annual list – which includes world-renowned institutions such as UCLA, Columbia University, and New York Film Academy – recognizes schools that prepare students for every aspect of moviemaking, spotlighting both world-renowned institutions and surprisingly affordable schools on the rise.
“Whatever your ambitions and budget, somewhere on this list is an ideal school for every aspiring moviemaker,” said MovieMaker’s editor-in-chief, Tim Molloy. “With so much change in the movie industry, the fundamentals of storytelling are a comforting constant – these 25 schools are deeply committed to guiding the next generation of storytellers.”
This year, Toronto Film School was singled out by MovieMaker in the Outstanding Production Training category for its flagship, 18-month Film Production program – marking the third time the honour has been bestowed on the school in the last five years.
TFS was previously recognized in the Outstanding Production Training category in 2021 and 2019, while in 2020 and 2022, TFS made the cut in the magazine’s Outstanding Screenwriting Training category in recognition of its Writing for Film & TV program.
“Students choose Toronto Film School for its world-class faculty, specialized curriculums, hands-on training, and industry networking opportunities from day one,” said Andrew Barnsley, Toronto Film School’s Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning president.
“Our graduates finish their studies at TFS confident, savvy, and connected. When they leave us, they are not only set-ready, but industry-ready – having mastered their craft and been prepared to enter into an industry that is fast-paced, demanding and exciting.”
