Description

At Arizona State University, we measure ourselves not by whom we exclude, but rather by whom we include and how they succeed.

Unlike many other top film schools, which measure themselves by who they exclude, The Sidney Poitier New American Film School is inclusive.

ASU's undergraduate film majors represent the creative diversity of our country, with more than 40 percent of its students from under-represented backgrounds.

Under the direction of the Director, the Assistant to the Director will handle administrative direction, perform work of considerable responsibility in administering services, personnel, and a set of programs which provide support to the faculty and staff assigned within the School/College/Department.

Serves as a liaison to the college/department, to other units of the university, to committees within, and to outside constituencies.

About The Sidney Poitier New American Film School

Spread across three locations including LA, The Sidney Poitier New American Film School offers students access to cutting-edge filmmaking facilities, networking with industry professionals and exclusive events and internship opportunities at a fraction of the cost charged by legacy film schools.

Unique to The Poitier Film School is the Media and Immersive eXperience (MIX) Center in Mesa, a world-class facility for film, media arts, design and emerging technology.

Its script-to-screen capabilities allows students to learn every aspect of the filmmaking process with its soundstages, color-grading room, sound-mixing studios, editing bays and screening theaters.

Learning all aspects of film, including writing, directing, editing, cinematography and sound design, gives students not just valuable experience, but a full picture of career possibilities in the creative economy, building a foundation for long-lasting success in a competitive industry.

The Poitier Film School continues to grow in LA, where students can learn their craft in the entertainment capital of the world as they network, land internships and begin their careers.
