Portfolio Film Development Course

Best Fit Education (BFE) Arts Advisory Board members, Jesse Damazo and Sinah Ober have created a portfolio film development course to help you create and develop films that will make your film portfolios stand out. You will not only end up with a polished film you can be proud of, but you will also learn valuable skills and learn about yourself as an artist.

  • The Five-Hour Film Development Course is for the student who comes with some ideas developed or those who work independently. These sessions are customized depending on student needs.
