In 2005, fair Dillard University in New Orleans, LA was almost wiped off the map by Hurricane Katrina. Now, in 2017, bolstered by tax incentives that made Louisiana the number one state for film production and a new University President that named the Dillard Film Program one of two Signature Programs at Dillard in 2015, we have become THE destination location for young filmmakers entering the entertainment business.
Edward Buckles worked shoulder-to-shoulder with Spike Lee making OLDBOY.
Ernest Robertson learned directly from department heads. A Key Grip on a million dollar feature taught him how to use all our grip equipment the right way.
Christine Maiden got the Denzel Washington free ride to go to Dillard and, like many students, got paid to learn while working on film sets while in school.
1. WORK ON REAL FEATURE FILM SETS
2. LEARN HOLISTIC FILMMAKING
3. LEARN FILMMAKING BY WORKING PROS IN SMALL CLASS SIZES
MAKING FEATURE FILMS IS BUILT INTO THE PROGRAM.
DILLARD FILM supports movies big and small. Whether it’s putting 43 Dillard students as interns
on Spike Lee’s Oldboy or 5 students on Lee Daniel’s The Butler, DillardFilm helps filmmakers make films.
