Professional filmmakers serve as mentors to Fellows enrolled in the disciplines of Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Producing, Production Design and Screenwriting.

Communicating Science and Engineering, the Catalyst Workshop provides a means for scientists and engineers to become more knowledgeable about the writing and initiation of motion picture projects.


Digital Content Lab (formerly AFI Enhanced TV Workshop)
