SCAD connects students and alumni with leading professionals by hosting the annual Savannah Film Festival-the largest of its kind at a U.S. university.
SCAD student productions are screened and win awards at premier film festivals including Sundance, Cannes, the Los Angeles Film Festival and South by Southwest.
SCAD students work and learn alongside actors, sound designers and production designers in an environment that emulates the professional studio setting.
SCAD was the only university in the 2010 Student Academy Awards with nominations in three categories. SCAD student Lubomir Kocka was honored with a bronze medal in narrative.
Meet film student Claudia Lovera.
