Montgomery, Alabama is the state capital of Alabama, as well as its second-largest city. The nearby town of Selma is not just known for its historic role in the civil rights movement but has also been the filming site for several major motion pictures. The mild climate, historic architecture, and close proximity to other locales make Montgomery-Selma an excellent place for location filming. Prospective film directors, film editors, cameramen, and film producers will find this area to be an excellent choice for learning a career in filmmaking.
Numerous film and television production companies call the Montgomery-Selma area home, and films, commercials, TV shows, and documentaries are regularly shot in the area–making it ideal for those filmmakers who want to break into the business without having to make the trek to Los Angeles or New York.
Some of the well-known movies (both for big screen and television) that have been filmed in the Montgomery-Selma area include Selma, Lord, Selma; The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter; Blue Sky; Big Fish; Sister, Sister; The Rosa Parks Story; and more! Both independent and major-league film companies regularly choose Montgomery-Selma and other Alabama sites as film locations, making this area an ideal connection point for film students and filmmaking professionals.
Some of our graduates have gone on to become film directors, script writers, and production company owners. Others are creating and producing their own films across genres like documentary, drama, comedy, action, and animation
