Miami Film School Opens Classes to M-1 Visa Approved Foreign Students

The Miami Film School Welcomes Film Students from all over the World!

2011-05-19

HOLLYWOOD, FL, May 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Miami Film School in Hollywood, Fla. has been authorized by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enroll M-1 approved foreign students.

The eligible students will participate in the Miami Film School's twelve week "Filmmaking Training Program" starting June 13, 2011 and ending on September 2, 2011. An additional class will be offered in the fall.

The students learn to write, shoot on HD cameras, direct and edit using Final Cut Pro. They are grouped into small crews to film their short, character-driven, drama, comedy or horror movies in the greater Miami area. The completed films are screened during the graduation ceremony held at a local movie theater on September 2.

"The Miami Film School's Filmmaking program teaches students, of all ages, the formula for turning a creative film idea into a reality," explains Jim York, the school's founder and director.

The 344-hour program consists of classroom instruction and production activities. These activities include castings, rehearsals, securing locations, attaining permits and editing. The classes meet Monday thru Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm.

"Over the years, we've had many requests from foreign students wanting to enroll in the Miami Film School, but they were unable to attend because of visa issues," says York.

The M-1 non-immigrant visa allows foreign students temporary entrance into the U.S. to participate in a full course of study at an approved vocational or technical study program.

"Our approval by U.S. Immigration and Customs will offer students from all around the world the opportunity to come to South Florida and learn filmmaking," says York.

Those persons interested must:

1) Send an email to filmschool@aol.com for the international application package.

2) Complete and return the application, and provide a $50 registration fee.

The school issues a Form I-20 upon acceptance. This form contains a prospective student's unique SEVIS identification number. The number allows the student to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee and apply for a visa. The SEVIS fee is currently $200. It must be paid prior to applying for a visa appointment or an interview at an embassy or consulate. The SEVIS fee can be paid online at http://www.fmjfee.com.

Learn more about "Becoming a Nonimmigrant Student" at the U.S. Immigration and Customs website. Information describing how to acquire the M-1 student visa is also provided to foreign students upon admission to the film school. http://www.miamifilmschool.com
