American Film Institute (AFI)

Every year, as part of the curriculum, FIDM's Advanced Study Film & TV Costume Design Students collaborate with graduating AFI Conservatory students by working as the Costume Design department on the AFI students’ thesis films. This gives each FIDM Student real-world experience as a Costume Designer on a team that mirrors an actual production environment--from interview, through script breakdown, design process, and the actual film shoot, all the way to wrap.
