Documentary and Dramatic Filmmaking

The Most Affordable Digital Film School In the Chicago area

Yes, we’re a lot less expensive than the three other degree-granting “film schools” in the Chicago area.  Yes, we have fewer instructors.  But we’re also among the best you’ll find anywhere.  We’ll get to know you.  We’ll see your talent and encourage your aspirations -- whether your passion is for Screenwriting, Producing, or Directing, whether you want to make dramatic projects or broadcast documentaries.  We’ve entered the era of digital authorship, in which anyone with talent and discipline has access to affordable tools for making and distributing digital films.  We have the tools.  We can give you the skill set.  We’ll help you learn you what you need to know to start a career in the highly competitive film and television industries. 

FADE IN.

INT. GOVERNORS STATE UNIVERSITY – NIGHT

Looking for a local or alternative or affordable film school, or all three of these at once?  Governors State University may be the end of your quest.

You may take our new and revised Media Communications courses as a sequence toward a B.A. in Communication, or an M.A. in Communications and Training. 

If you're in another discipline, and have thought about how in-house and streaming video might augment your skill set and improve your marketability, or if you simply have a secret passion for filmmaking, take one or two MCOM courses as electives. 

All of GSU’s courses in Communication will prove to be an asset to you, regardless of your interests or career path.   In addition to the revised sequences in TV/Video Production and Media Communications, consider our established and highly respected sequences in Journalism, Speech Communications, Multimedia Communications, or (at the graduate level) Communication Studies and Human Performance & Training.
