Who We Are

Our Los Angeles film school offers you access to top instructors and state-of-the-art techniques and equipment. Our history is unique in that we wanted to create a film school that provided instruction based on real Hollywood methods. The International Academy of Film and Television (IAFT) was founded in 2004 on the beautiful tropical island of Cebu, Philippines. IAFT was created to fill the need for a top-quality film school that was also affordable, so that all aspiring filmmakers could have the opportunity to receive a high quality education that gives them a competitive edge in the film industry.  The International Academy of Film and Television has taught students across the globe all about filmmaking using film production techniques taken straight from Hollywood.  As a result, those who have completed our programs have become renowned in the film industry for their creativity and knowledge of every aspect of film production.
