Script to Screen: Introduction to the Entertainment Industry

Once again, New Jersey Film Academy welcomes award-winning filmmaker, producer, and industry veteran Adam Nelson as instructor for this foundational course on how film and television actually work.
This class is built for people serious about a career in the business.

From early script notes to the final cut, students are taken inside the full production process while learning how jobs really function, how sets operate, and what the industry expects from day one. Above-the-line. Below-the-line. Safety. Unions. Career paths.

Nelson draws on decades of firsthand experience to teach what doesn’t show up in textbooks: how productions run, how people get hired, and how careers actually begin.
