For a small, new film school — it launched in 2007 — the Singapore-based Tisch School of the Arts Asia already has made an impact in the region.
Hollywood heavyweight Oliver Stone is an artistic director there, and school officials say he visits once a semester. In addition to Stone, Sundance filmmakers Alrick Brown (Kinyarwanda) and Dee Rees (Pariah) will visit the campus in mid-April, along with veteran producer Dan Wigutow (Heaven Help Us).
The school, which offers classes in English and costs about $44,000 a year, offers master’s degrees in dramatic writing, animation and digital arts and international media producing.
Amenites include Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, 35mm and Super 16mm cameras and two soundstages.
“Tisch Asia provides an American conservatory-style education that is backed by decades of experience, state-of-the-art facilities and technology delivered by world-class faculty members, set against the vibrancy and diversity of inspiring Asia,” says Pari Sara Shirazi, the school’s president.
