A Program Designed for Aspiring Creatives
Brendon Sawatzky, a seasoned instructor in entertainment production, emphasizes just how essential this program is in today’s creative landscape.
“It’s really suited for people who want to take a creative project from start to finish,” he says. His insight highlights the program’s focus on developing the production skills that are vital for success in the entertainment world.
Have you ever had a film idea that you were just itching to explore? You’re not alone! Conversations with industry insiders reveal a consistent theme: many people have a concept they’re eager to develop, whether it’s for writing or directing.
Sawatzky points out, “There’s really not enough producers. Everyone you talk to has a film they would like to do, write or direct, and so a need for more producers is really important.” This reality underscores the program’s significance in addressing a critical gap in the market.

This program is not just about preparing for a job; it encourages students to think long-term about their careers in production. With hands-on learning experiences and valuable industry connections, graduates will be well-prepared to dive into a competitive job market.
Given the rising demand for skilled producers, students in this program can look forward to gaining practical skills alongside deep insights into the production process. From mastering project management to crafting compelling stories through visual media, the curriculum is tailored to provide a thorough education that will benefit students in their future careers.
As the inaugural cohort prepares to embark on this new educational adventure, there’s an undeniable excitement about the creative possibilities that lie ahead.
