STUDENTS IN ACTION
Toronto Film School taught me how to tell my stories. Now, I’m a screenwriter.
Reeth Mazumder-Roberts, Writing for Film & TV ’19
Writer and Director, You May Kiss the Bride
It’s the one-on-one interaction with teachers and the small class sizes that really make this school stand out from the others.
Spencer Sinclair, Writing for Film & TV ’14
Writer and Producer, Guess Who’s Not Coming to Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner?
TFS gave me the ability to get into the writer’s mind when I watch a show, and provided me with an understanding of how a TV series is made.
Jhanik Bullard, Writing for Film & TV ’18
Showrunner’s Assistant, Coroner
I learned the craft inside out, whether it was writing a television pilot, a web series, or a feature film. TFS was a very good experience all around.
