The Georgia Film Academy is partnering with Spelman College, a historically Black liberal arts educaational institution for women in Atlanta, to launch two new courses in film and television studies.
Beginning in the spring 2026 semester, the HBCU will offer “Introduction to Film and Television Production” and “Introduction to Film and Television Post-Production.” These new courses are the first in Georgia Film Academy’s 18-credit-hour certification program in film and television production and post-production. Through lectures, hands-on training, and equipment demonstrations, Spelman students now have the opportunity to gain a foundational understanding of narrative film production and post-production workflows, organizational structures, job responsibilities, and on-set protocols across various film crafts.
“We are thrilled to bring Georgia Film Academy courses to our students at Spelman College,” said Mark Lee, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. “This partnership opens new doors for our students who aspire to careers in narrative film production, post-production, and digital media, fields that are rich with opportunity for diverse voices and perspectives. By combining Spelman’s legacy of academic excellence with GFA’s industry expertise, we’re helping prepare the next generation of Black women storytellers, creators, and leaders to make their mark on the entertainment industry.”
