In the AFI Conservatory MFA program, Editing Fellows are always focused on storytelling while receiving expert-level training in the technical side of the editing process. Guided by experienced and award-winning Faculty, Editing Fellows collaborate in rotating teams with Fellows from the other disciplines, cutting three cycle films in their first year of film school while also working as an assistant editor on another three projects.In Year Two of the graduate-level program, Editing Fellows edit one thesis film and assist on another. Through the two-year hands-on training, Fellows develop creative partnerships with their colleagues, refine their storytelling skills, find their voice as artists and master the technical aspects of editing. Upon completing the AFI Conservatory MFA program, Editing Fellows also have a new demo reel to share with the industry.
