CFA Institute
Cinematography for Actors Institute (CFA) is a nonprofit dedicated to making film education and career opportunities accessible to underrepresented and emerging creatives. Through free workshops, mentorship, film challenges, and networking events, we help filmmakers and actors gain the tools and connections they need to succeed.
We collaborate with League of Filmmakers, a digital trade publication and community that highlights indie storytelling and shares resources across the industry, and The Reel Champions, a network dedicated to uplifting women and non-binary filmmakers through mentorship, festivals, and advocacy.
On this channel you’ll find:
- Behind-the-scenes filmmaking insights
- Cinematography tips and tools
- Acting resources and training ideas
- Deep dives into the production process
- Conversations with creatives building their careers
