Letter from the Director
(December 2009) International Cinematographers Guild (ICG) magazine.
ICG's recent feature "Film School Confidential" profiled the Colorado Film School as one of the finest film schools in the nation.
We are the only film school that has their students providing coverage (reading and evaluating scripts) for International Creative Management (ICM) one of the world's largest talent and literary agencies. In fact, we have just established two summer internship positions at the agency, bumping a prominent Ivy League institution.
Our Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with Regis University creates a seamless, integrated program offered entirely at Colorado Film School facilities. This unique program creates an affordable, accredited, and focused professional degree program. We offer five distinct emphases for students wanting to work in film and media – the language of the global marketplace.
The Colorado Film School offers a variety of additional programs: An Advanced Immersion Program of 60 credits of film/video courses delivered in 11 short months, and AAS degrees and certificates delivered over a more conventional academic schedule.
Our students hail from Colorado and a wide variety of locations throughout the world.
We have an excellent faculty of working professionals with impressive industry credentials and connections, many of whom have terminal MFA degrees from the finest film schools in the world.
The Denver metro area offers a rich and varied cultural setting, and our famous mountains and ski resorts are only an hour away. The Starz Denver Film Festival brings hundreds of films and filmmakers from around the world each fall, and CFS students are deeply involved in the Vail Film Festival each spring. We have a lively visiting artist roster that grows each semester.
Colorado's 7,992 creative enterprises employ roughly 186,000 individuals, the fifth largest employment sector in the state. Film and media are the backbone of the creative economy world-wide, and Colorado's creative sector is growing faster than the nation as a whole.
Please compare our facilities, faculty, infrastructure, curriculum, cost, mission, and the quality of our student work to any film school in the world.
We are actively seeking imaginative students who are focused, energetic, ambitious, and eager to hone their professional skills for entry into a highly competitive field. We are the new and rising force in film/video/media education, and we challenge you to join us!

"There was a time not long ago, when prospective film students looking for the finest, immersive hands-on education - with access to top-of-the-line equipment, sound stages, postproduction facilities and world class faculty - had only a few expensive options; it was either New York or Los Angeles with not much in-between. Today,..., superlative programs from around the nation have emerged that rival the preeminent schools of the right and left coasts....like the Colorado Film School...."
