The Hollywood Reporter, a magazine that bills itself as “the definitive interpretive voice of the entertainment industry,” has named The Colorado Film School at CCA one of the Top 25 Film Schools in the world.
The Colorado Film School is on the list alongside prestigious institutions such as the American Film Institute, University of Southern California, UCLA, Syracuse University, Columbia University, Stanford, and the Beijing Film Academy.
“Given that the list is international in scope and includes universities offering primarily academic programs as well as production programs like ours, we are pleased to be included,” said Frederic Lahey, founder and executive director of the School. He noted that most of the schools on the list cost more to attend for one year than it costs to earn a four-year bachelor of fine arts degree from the Colorado Film School’s collaborative Community College of Aurora and Regis University tracks.
In compiling the list, The Hollywood Reporter consulted industry insiders, executives, filmmakers, and film school graduates. The magazine asked participants to rate each program based on the categories of alumni, cost, facilities, industry access, and strength of faculty. According to its web site, The Hollywood Reporter “is read by the most powerful people in the entertainment industry and the most influential consumers who follow it.” Affiliated with Billboard, Back Stage, and AdWeek magazines, the publication is headquartered in Los Angeles, Calif.
“Excellence in professional film education doesn’t have to be expensive or exclusive,” Lahey added. “It just has to be focused and smart.”
