As digital film reshapes the way stories are told – from social media content to blockbuster movies – Wayne State’s Digital Film Production and Theory program equips students with the technical know-how to bring stories to life.
Students dive into essential areas such as screenwriting, acting and performance techniques, live broadcasting, and studio production. Wayne State’s curriculum also covers film criticism, giving students insight into the critic’s role in shaping films. Students gain practical experience in directing, audio production, and post-production editing, preparing them with the skills to succeed in every phase of film creation. Students in the program also have opportunities to showcase their talent in local and regional film festival circuits, where several have competed and won major awards.
