The Film Program at Texas State aims to educate the complete filmmaker. That is a focused, hard-working graduate who has a deep understanding of the entire machinery that goes into the making of a film. That film might encompass the entire breadth of formal media production from a short film, documentary, commercial, TV show or web series to a full-length feature film. Regardless of form, the graduate will know how to go about the writing, planning, financing, execution, and distribution of that cultural product.
