The New York Film Academy is an intensive hands-on film and acting school devoted to providing the most focused filmmaking, acting, producing, screenwriting, and animation instruction in the world. Our workshops offer an intensive, hands-on experience, which gives the students the opportunity to develop their creative skills to the fullest extent possible.

The Academy was founded in Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Film Center on a belief that a top quality education in filmmaking should be accessible to anyone with the drive and ambition to make films. We hold One-Year, Two-Year Conservatory, MFA and short-term programs.

The Academy is honored to be the film school choice of many Hollywood filmmakers and their families, including the son of Steven Spielberg; the son of actors Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins; the daughter of director Peter Bogdanovich; and the son of Kevin Kline. And yet some of the best films to come out of the New York Film Academy are from students with no connections to the film industry.

eBay members can begin bidding from October 1.
