Film

The Film Department is a writer/director pathway. Students are immersed in the art of filmmaking—from initial concept, to script, to the editing booth. Students experiment with language, sound design, and lighting; collaborating with peers from across the College’s eight performing and visual arts departments.

Students work in narrative, documentary, and experimental filmmaking. They explore the art and the craft of cinema, making film in an art school setting that supports the development of their creative visions.

With its rich history, Seattle is a perfect city for an art school. Cornish is surrounded by dozens of theatres, museums, music venues, and galleries, as well as design firms, production companies, and creative agencies.

With iconic Seattle landmarks, vast forests, mountains, and bodies of water as our backdrop, there is no end for inspiration and exploration.

The Cornish of today is a lab for creativity and transformation, where talented students are empowered to become artists, citizens, and innovators.
