Our program's main focus is the artistic personal and professional growth of our students. It is very organic in it's approach and grows from our students' personal creative journey. We bring in professors, mentors and professionals who help students in every aspect of the film making process and challenge our students to find the depth and inner honesty that will make their work original and fresh. We maintain a very fluid and intuitive approach letting the story and the creative process of the students lead the production and technical aspects and bring in specialists to help support our students in realizing their artistic visions. All of our lectures, workshops, labs, mentoring sessions, productions and internships are based on our students own creative ideas and expression.

New Renaissance Florence Film School's Mission Statement: We are an innovative film and new media school for visionary artists. At the New Renaissance Florence Film and New Media School, our emphasis is to create a highly personal and advanced learning environment that helps students effectively communicate their highest message through the art of creative storytelling which springs from their inner journey of self discovery and deep personal growth. In our programs students will learn about the depth that lies within them and to effectively communicate this by incorporating a multitude of new expressive mediums including digital film and graphics, performance art, interactive storytelling, and multi media events. Rather than focusing on our students breaking into an already saturated industry to follow the visions of a select few, we help our students break out to become pioneers of their own creative talents and help evolve our modern artistic and educational mediums. We ground students' creative talent with solid and creative marketing tools so they can reach and grow their own audiences and enter the limitless oprotunities that are now availible for new media artists with vision. We not only help students develop effective marketing tools to get their message to the global community but we support our students' exploration and development of new means of conveying stories to the emerging markets.
