Musicians Institute Offers Full Range of US Government and California State Financial Aid for Innovative Music Video, Film and TV Program

   Program Overseen by Award-Winning Film and Video Director Alan
Calzatti
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Beginning with the Fall 2008 class, FilmIT, Musicians Institute's
(MI) innovative Music Video, Film and Television program, is offering
a full range of US Government and California State financial aid to
qualified students.

   FilmIT's 30-credit, two-quarter program applies MI's
world-renowned hands-on training techniques to the production of
professional-quality film and video. During the program, each student
completes a music-driven short-form film, managing it from concept
through production (on 35mm film, 16mm film or HD) to compositing,
special effects and mastering, learning each task along the way under
the direction of professional directors and editors. The FilmIT
curriculum can also be joined with instrument studies in guitar, bass,
keyboards, drums or voice to earn an Associate of Arts degree with a
combined music/film emphasis.

   FilmIT is overseen by award-winning film and video director Alan
Calzatti, who recently earned international praise for his work as
Director of Photography on Icelandic group Sigur Ros' visually
stunning concert documentary Heima (ranked as the all time number-one
documentary by industry website IMDB.com). The program has been
reviewed and approved by the National Association of Schools of Music.

   The next FilmIT program begins October 6 and is enrolling students
now. Classes are small and space is limited; contact an MI Admissions
representative today for details.
