Entertainment Partners and Tisch School of the Arts have launched a five-year collaboration which will incorporate Entertainment Partners’ industry-leading Movie Magic Budgeting and Movie Magic Scheduling subscriptions and access to EP’s Academy training courses into NYU Tisch School of the Arts Master of Arts Media Producing program curriculum. The agreement also includes a dedicated annual scholarship fund to expand access to the school’s programs. These combined resources build core production management skills to equip students for today's industry landscape.
“Production management is not a nice-to-have skill, it’s foundational to how productions get made,” said Markham L. Goldstein, Entertainment Partners President & CEO. “NYU Tisch is training some of the most promising filmmakers in the world, and through this partnership, we’re bringing the same tools and training used across the industry directly into the classroom. Our goal is to be a truly valuable partner, not just to institutions, but to the future workforce of the industry.”
As announced in the press release, the collaboration also includes up to two joint events annually, such as panels, webinars or educational programs featuring EP and NYU Tisch faculty and industry professionals. The collaboration will also support joint research and editorial projects, creating opportunities for thought leadership around production education and industry best practices. Media Producing program students will also gain access to The Production Lot, the global production community platform designed to support filmmakers at every stage of their careers by connecting education, professional development and industry engagement.
