SF School of Digital Filmmaking
The film school was founded by industry veterans Steven Kopels and Jeremiah Birnbaum, based on the kind of school they wish they attended.  Steven and Jeremiah provide hands-on training, encourage apprenticeships, and claim to be the only school offering the opportunity to crew on a professional film!  Their students just finished filming the feature film “Around June,” a love offering set near the S.F. Ship-yards.  Whether you’re looking into their filmmaking programs, workshops or film acting classes, you’ll cultivate your passion for film at 2331 3rd St.  By Talia Salem The City Star 4/5/07
