The Story of SFI
Seattle Film Institute has prepared students for successful careers in the film industry since 1994. Students develop the specific creative and technical expertise, as well as the critical “employability” skills necessary to launch their careers in today’s fast-paced film environment. At SFI, our unique hands-on and production-based approach means students get a rigorous, well-rounded education in film, where they immerse themselves in the filmmaking process starting from day one. Our faculty is comprised of experienced, working professional filmmakers, actors, writers, editors, composers, cinematographers, agents and other specialists.
Seattle Film Institute is the Northwest’s only stand-alone film school. We are the only school in the region offering accelerated certificate, undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as professional internships and career assistance.
Our students produce professional quality work and they have access to all the tools needed including our extensive inventory of equipment: including Arriflex, Canon, Red Cinema and Sony cameras plus Adobe Premiere Pro and AfterEffects workstations, as well as a working film studio complete with green screen.
SFI also hosts several monthly events for the local filmmaking community in our theater.
If you’re looking to turn your dreams into a rewarding career in film, SFI is the place for you.
