..
At the Zaki Gordon Institute (ZGI) we teach one thing, how to make movies. If you want to take film criticism classes on the French New Wave, we're not for you. Concept to distribution within a year, that's what we do. Because independent filmmaking requires you to wear many hats, we run the school like you're on a production. It's an intense experience but everyone who graduates has made their own short film.ZGI is located at the state of the art facilities of Yavapai College's Sedona Center for Arts & Technology. The program is fully accredited through Yavapai College in Arizona and qualifies for all forms of financial aid, not to mention the incredibly reasonable tuition.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Filmmakers and those who want to be one! The Institute prides itself on finding storytellers who have both the passion and commitment to tell their stories. We look for self-starters, individuals that are interested in getting an education to get on with making movies. No previous experience required, we just ask for your sincere commitment and desire to learn. For more ZGI short student films, visit youtube.com/zgiif
