SFSDF offers a revolutionary way to learn moviemaking, providing remarkable advantages over other film schools in the Bay Area and beyond:

1. It's a project-based curriculum ­ the students and faculty work on a series of productions that are progressively more challenging, enhancing their skills at each level.

2. What students walk away with:

	- A demo reel of their work
	- Credits on other student- and faculty-produced movies
	- Professional contacts
	- Skills in producing, directing, lighting, shooting, sound recording, and editing.
