For the past few decades, millions of people have watched Star Wars, Toy Story, Shrek, and other countless great films and be inspired by them. Through the efforts of pioneering companies such as Pixar and ILM, computer animation and digital filmmaking are now considered as an integral part of the filmmaking industry.

Recognizing the demand of talents in the entertainment industry, the Film & Art Institute is established to provide youths the chance to discover their talent, and learn the skills in computer animation and digital filmmaking.

As more people in this millennium are seeking better quality of life, the Film & Art Institute is guiding its students to use media for the benefit of mankind and stressing the importance of external excellence in the process. By providing college-level learning experience, industry standard equipments and quality education, students are given the opportunities to find their area of focus and excel in it. In turn, they are encouraged to use what they have learned as a tool to help their communities and society.

The Film & Art Institute invites you to come and see what we can offer you.

- Joseph Davis, President of Film & Art Institute
