"The Digital Media Center for the Arts gave me a great foundation for creating movies. I learned about the shooting and post-production processes, which allowed me to direct several films during my undergraduate career. Had I only taken Yale classes, I would have had a much more limited understanding of the filmmaking process, and am incredibly thankful that a place like the DMCA exists."
