TFI is a unique learning opportunity designed to bring Christ's followers and storytellers together with a calling in the visual arts.
We are the only Faith-Based apprentice program in the country, helping Christians passionate about filmmaking learn the trade and make their films.
​
At Transformation Film Institute, we teach the art of filmmaking like a four-year institution with practical applications like a trade school. We believe learning is best achieved by doing and documenting what you have done.
TFI apprentices leave us with documented proof of their abilities to work in the Faith-Based Film Industry. TFI offers personalized learning opportunities for each apprentice. Only accepting 20 new students per semester allows our instructors to personalize the learning experience for each apprentice.
We help our apprentices leave the Fast Track Professional Program with more than head knowledge they leave us with a portfolio to show they are industry professionals.
