“Taking classes at NJ Film School was an unforgettable experience. I learned so much about both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking and storytelling. NJ Film School was the launchpad for my love of filmmaking and gave me the confidence to truly pursue it as a career.”

“As each week passes in our house, there is no better day for our son Jake than the one where he'll be attending NJ Film School class. And for good reason: Chris guides his students through exercises that build confidence, skill and the ability to channel passion into creativity. Before NJ Film School, my son had a definite interest in being involved in film. Now, an entire world of possibility seems open to him - directing, editing, acting, screenwriting, stop-motion animation... all with an emphasis on collaboration, support, and imagination. We'll always be grateful for that.”

“I am the parent of two children who attend NJ Film School. My first, who intends to pursue film as a career, feels that his classes have strengthened his knowledge and skill set beyond comparison of peers that have attended other programs. My second, who attends "just for fun", has gained extraordinary writing skills, close friendships, strong public speaking skills, and self esteem. There are no other programs that even compare in content and quality.”

“I am 15 and started attending NJ Film School when I was 10. My experiences at NJ Film School have been amazing. I have worked with professional equipment and been taught writing, directing, cinematography, acting, lighting, sound, supervising, etc. Collaborating with others who share the same interest has helped me improve my skills and make new friends. Not only is film class the highlight of my week, but it is also preparing me for my future career.”

Filmmaker and Student

“NJ Film School is the perfect place to learn the art of filmmaking. Personally, it has opened the door for me to learn a new art form that is collaborative, technical, and exciting!”
