Application Process

The application process involves TWO mandatory steps: 

LETTER OF INTENT:

Please note there is limited space available; apply early to avoid disappointment. All Film Production Academy students, both new and returning, must apply each year. All students in Delta are welcome to attend The Film Production Academy at “The Studio” which is located near the bus loop in Ladner.

The program exposes students to professionals from within the Film Industry and therefore we ask that applicants should exemplify, maturity, integrity, and have strong learning goals. As a part of the application process, first time applicants are requested to write a Statement of Intent (one paragraph long). The Statement of Intent should answer the question: Why would you like to participate in the Film Production Academy? Please email the paragraph to Mrs. Jennifer McKee, the Teacher Coordinator of the Delta Film Academy, at jmckee@deltaschools.ca with the header: Letter of Intent. Applications must be mailed in by March 31^st, 2021 .
