San Francisco Film School

The San Francisco film school has been one of the most best learning institution I have ever been to. They're not only informative but they know how to work with people in a productive and helpful way. I'm a veteran thats new to the film industry working under the Voc. Rehab Program. I'm disabled and they still helped me learn the Fine Art of film making and are willing to work with you.

Horrible horrible horrible! I feel robbed by the fact I have to give them even 1 star..Stay away especially if you’re a veteran like me! The most disorganized and dis functional school I’ve ever encountered and I’ve been to four different institutions while acquiring my bachelors degree. I was in classes for two weeks and never received any log in information, documents, enrollment agreements, literally nothing other than being told verbally that I was enrolled and will start class January 13th. Also my information was never sent to the VA for my tuition to be paid and for me to receive my BAH. I spoke to the VA and verified this. Sadly I really wanted to attend this school to learn videography. I literally called in everyday only for Gemces to laugh and ask to call me back with an update which she NEVER did, once I even asked her who is their VA certifying official and she would not tell me. Alfretta is horrible as well she made promises and never once delivered on them. I’ll be calling into the VA to make them aware who this schools dealing as well. The school specifically advertises to veterans just to screw them over. Trust me all vets save your time and heart rate by NOT dealing with this trash school. Thank me later!

With almost no prior experience I enrolled in two different film programs and made a black and white student film for $34. Two years later a professional version of Prior Bad Acts has won two Best Shorts Competition awards and a screening at the Balboa Theater next week. Thanks to Alfretta Clark, Turner Van Ryn, Attila Rosas and Jeremiah Birnbaum for kickstarting the process.

I am part of the staff here at San Francisco Film School, and I definitely am enjoying working with my co-workers and students at the school. I love the friendly atmosphere and the collaborative camaraderie that the students have together in working on their films. We are here to assist you to achieve your creative passions in the film/entertainment industry! "The best way to learn filmmaking is to make films!"

I’m in my first semester and soo far I love how it’s being ran and classes are great. If you’re a vet, they will taken care of you. Tammy and their staff have been great at getting you settled in and keeping you informed.

School is an excellent environment for individuals aspiring to develop their skills in the cinematic arts.

Everyone is very passionate about film & helping the students to grow and develop their own artistic form as a filmmaker. Special thanks to Tammy Hendricks for going above and beyond to help with processing enrollment w/ VA.
