#AFICONSERVATORY
🎬 AFI prepares filmmakers for careers in film. Affonso Gonçalves (AFI Class of 1993) honed his editing skills at the #AFIConservatory, building a craft that has led to a distinguished film career, including his work on HAMNET.
“AFI was one of the best things to ever happen to me.” For producer Deniese Davis (AFI Class of 2012), the #AFIConservatory provided the skills, experience and connections that continue to shape her work on projects like ONE OF THEM DAYS.
🎥 From student films to major Hollywood productions, Argya Sadan (AFI Class of 2017) has brought her vision to life on projects like David Fincher’s THE KILLER and the hit TV series 9-1-1. Her journey began at the #AFIConservatory, where she developed the skills for a thriving career in production design.
✍ Great storytelling starts at AFI. Brad Ingelsby (AFI Class of 2005), writer, producer and director of TASK, built the foundational skills at the #AFIConservatory that continue to drive his success in film and television.
