Mission Statement

The UCF-NSCM Film and Mass Program is a creative, diverse, and inclusive community of scholarship and production, fostering independent filmmakers, educators, and media entrepreneurs. This program prepares students for careers as visual and cinematic artists, industry practitioners, scholars, correspondents, and individuals with a foundation of knowledge and experience that is based in technique, practice, and theory. Critical studies and interdisciplinary collaboration are also emphasized to break down the divides between narrative, experimental, and documentary modes of expression.

Students graduate equipped with the skills and sensibilities necessary to navigate the evolving arts and digital media industries and to seize upon the opportunities in their field of interest.
