Welcome to the fall semester at Tisch! We look forward to a year full of community, collaboration, and creativity.
Tisch Special Programs is excited to share the latest about new online courses and new faculty. We also have events and lots of study abroad opportunities you don’t want to miss.
NEW PROFESSIONAL/ONLINE COURSES
Independent filmmaker Shivani Khattar will be teaching the Film Workshop this fall. This is Tisch’s first online, asynchronous filmmaking workshop for adults!
Shivani’s work ranges from feature films to branded content and commercials. She has made future-forward documentaries for NBC News’ streaming platforms and has worked as the New York Lead Video Producer for Engadget.com. She earned her MFA degree in Film Directing at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts where she received the Paulette Godard Scholarship two years in a row.
Shivani Khattar and Charlie Schulman
Writer and producer Charlie Schulman will be teaching Screenwriting I online this fall - another first! This is also an asynchronous course for adults.
