Welcome to The Motion Picture Institute!

The Motion Picture Institute (MPI) isn’t simply a series of "how to" workshops. MPI is a film school with a  carefully designed program that trains students in the fundamental arts and sciences of motion picture production. MPI is a network of instructors, peers, professionals, and resources for aspiring filmmakers to produce their films even beyond graduation. The Motion Picture Institute is also by far one of the most affordable film schools in the country. Students come from all over the US to attend MPI.

If  you're interested in Film, and want to attend an affordable one-year vocational school, consider The Motion Picture Institute.
