The Producing program fosters assured filmmakers with the skills necessary to shape narratives across platforms, identify content, develop material with writers, and collaborate with directors, cinematographers, editors and production designers to bring a wide array of stories to audiences. AFI teaches the vital tools that Producing Fellows need to inspire and lead that process from story inception through production and post. They also take a deep dive into the contemporary media landscape and gain real-world insight into the current market.

With an emphasis on artistic collaboration, the Producing program drives Fellows to master strong communication skills, develop creative solutions and learn how to manage the intricate details of propelling a project from story to screen.
