1. Combine Creative and Business Skills in Centennial
College’s Television & Film - Business Program
Toronto, November 27, 2013/-In today’s television and film industry, being
creative is not enough to attain longevity as a producer. Professionals are
also required to possess business savvy that is relevant to the industry.
While there are many film programs in Toronto, Centennial College’s
Television & Film - Business offering focuses specifically on the corporate
concepts that will ensure success for graduates.
Open to those who possess a three-year advanced college diploma, or three
or four year university degree in any discipline, this program prepares
students for employment in the independent film and television production
sector in the areas of business affairs, accounting, business development
and production management/producing.
Students spend just two semesters in the intensive program. During this
time they learn how important is it to have a global entrepreneurial outlook
by exploring the legal, financial and regulatory frameworks of the industry.
In turn, students develop skills that combine knowledge of the film and
television industry with the principles and practices of accounting and
business necessary for successfully producing in the current Canadian
market.
Some specific topics covered by this Toronto film school include: developing
plans for various business aspects of the film and television industry such as
project financing, program sales and marketing, and business plans for the
launch and operation of an independent production company.
A field placement in the final semester sets this program apart from other
film school Toronto-based training. Students spend nine weeks (about
two to three days a week) with a film or television production company or
related organization in a position that relates to their career goals.
