Testimonials
At VFS, we measure the success of our programs by what our students, alumni, and respected members of the industry have to say about us. Here's a sample of what people are saying about the Film Production experience at VFS.
- “At VFS you get all the tools, and you really don’t need four, five years... You need one year and to learn all you can from wise people, books, and various courses. Then you really need to dive into the film business waters and learn how to swim among the sharks.”

- Marianna Rowinska Film Production Graduate
Line Producer, Prince Caspian, The Reader
- “And today, when I light and shoot some of the biggest stars of the film industry, I’m proud of the fact that I draw from the wealth of experience I gathered at VFS.”f

- Santosh Kumar Film Production Graduate
Director, Yash Raj Films
- “It’s where I met [Producer] Scott Mosier and [Cinematographer] Dave Klein. Without it, Clerks never would’ve happened.”

- Kevin Smith Director, Clerks, Chasing Amy
- "There was a screening of our class’s work and someone attending the screening noticed my name on 12 projects. She went home afterwards and mentioned me to her boyfriend, who was a Producer/Director at a local commercial/music video production house. He came into work the next day and found my resume on his desk. He called me in, took a look at my reel, and hired me right away."
