Humber’s Film and Television Production program is a hands-on media production training program.

Ours is a learn-by-doing system where professors guide and mentor students in the art of visual storytelling, employing industry standard practices while embracing innovations in an ever-evolving media landscape.

In our program you will:

  • fine tune film and TV production abilities using industry-standard production equipment in large, well-equipped studios and state-of-the-art video and audio editing suites

  • complete your education with training in business and marketing, opportunities to connect with industry professionals, and a final-semester field experience
  • premiere your work at high-profile program showcase screenings

Films produced in this program have screened at film festivals all over the world. Notable graduates include producer Frank Siracusa, scriptwriter Noelle Carbone, and cinematographer Rob Scarborough, just to name a few.

Work-Integrated Learning courses serve as the vital link between academic learning and real-world application. Within this framework, students actively participate in the Professional Practice course, equipping you with the necessary skills and confidence to secure your own field experience. Throughout this journey, a dedicated career & work-integrated learning advisor offers personalized guidance and support. 

In Semester 6, students immerse themselves in the Field Experience course, committing 140 hours of practical application within the field. Whether pursuing paid or unpaid opportunities, all experiences undergo approval by your career & work-integrated learning advisor to ensure relevance.
