Film production? There is actually a lot of chances to work on student produced films, because every semester there are kids in production classes who need help, plus senior need help with their thesis films. There is also the film co-op, which is entirely student run, which produces a few student-written, directed and produced films a year.

However, there are not that many actually production classes. There’s film production, digital production, advanced film production, occasionally an animation class, some documentary production classes, and a screenwriting class, but that’s it, and they’re hard to get into (though every film major has to do at least one).

Anyway, I’m a film major, and it’s a really great program. Very rigorous, but you learn a LOT about film theory and history. Plus, we have a fabulous network (the “Wesleyan Mafia”).
