Partnerships: Industry and Educational
Industry Partnerships
From its beginnings in 1969, the UBC Film Production Program has been connected to the film and television industry in Vancouver. Faculty play an active role in industry organizations and alumni working in the industry remain involved with supporting the Program.
As a result of these connections, UBC Film Production students benefit from a wide range of support for their student work and training from outside UBC. Private companies offer discounted student rates on important elements such as professional equipment and film stock. Industry unions supply special low budget waivers for students, and professional film organizations and production companies provide the Program with guest speakers and internships for UBC Film Production students.
