Northwestern’s RTVF BA fuses hands-on media production with critical analysis of global screen industries. Students craft short films, podcasts, and VR experiences while studying media history, audience analytics, and cultural theory. Chicago’s robust film scene and Northwestern’s partnerships with Sundance and Netflix fund industry internships and guest-artist masterclasses. A senior showcase pitches student work to agents and festival programmers, launching graduates into directing, screenwriting, sound design, and media-strategy roles.
