How it works:
The FTTP is a mobile statewide program, currently offered at four state colleges throughout New Mexico with plans to expand. After an introduction to the film industry, students choose a specific craft and work on actual short-form productions (public service announcements, commercials, etc…). The final semester is spent working on larger projects such as shorts and independents under the supervision of experienced crew members.
