World-class production training at a fraction of the cost

 

Schools like USC & NYU cost $230K+. At VFS, you’ll graduate industry-ready for $21K–$39K USD. High student loan limits drive up US tuition – but as that pressure doesn’t exist in Canada, you get the same world-class training without the inflated cost.

Testimonials

Working with the students, alumni and staff at VFS was a dream. It is quite possible I got even more out of the experience than the participants did. I hope to be back soon to continue the work and meet more of the VFS family!

I was surrounded by wonderful people: knowledgeable instructors and students from around the world. Everybody was just really hungry and full of passion so it felt like a place I wanted to be. After Acting Essentials I decided I wasn't ready quite yet so I came back for the full year program. A plethora of classes taught me how to use my voice, analyze a script, build a character, and feel comfortable in my skin.

If you want the best chances of making it deep in the animation industry immediately after graduation, then going to Vancouver Film School could be the best decision of your life.

Animation Career Review

 

Film production is the art of risk management. Our experience filming with a crew made up of VFS students proved itself to be anything but risky. I owe this to the incredibly hands-on nature of the VFS curriculum. This practical approach is preparing the next generation of film crews the right way. The VFS staff, students, and facilities were best in class. I would not hesitate to partner with the school again in the future.
