CINEMATOGRAPHY and FILM/VIDEO PRODUCTION

The Video/Film Academy of ESHS and its NBOE sister school Technology High School have continued to work together since the 2021/2022 school year to ensure that Newark has a pathway for those children with a passion for Film and Video and industry opportunities. The Film and Video academy is proud of its industry partner the Slate and DreamPlay and its post-secondary institution partner Essex County College who meet  in order to reach tangible goals that layout a cohesive pathway for students to become aspiring Film and Video professionals.

Currently, the start of dual enrollment courses is projected for the Fall of the 2021/2022 school year. Students enrolled in their third year of the academy will have an opportunity for dual enrollment courses. The focus of the pathway is employability skills, work based learning skills, career and technical expertise.
