CG School for Employment

SFFS has been the industry's first call for CG talent for 26 consecutive years.

With over 142 artists placed in Hollywood and leading productions, SFFS shapes the industry.

From foundational skills to portfolio-ready expertise, we train the artists studios actually want to hire.

​​​

Alumni Employed

in Top Studios 

At SFFS, you get 24/7 access to industry-grade workstations, a professional green screen studio, advanced motion capture systems, and a private screening theater.

Monthly masterclasses with industry leaders keep your work polished and beyond the standard.

​​

Globally Recognized Professional Training

Learning directly from the people making the work. SFFS seminars bring in working directors and supervisors from Hollywood for one-on-one reviews, technical feedback, and real production insight.

We teach not just theory, but how it's actually done.

It's the same network that gets our graduates hired globally.

About

SF Film School

In 2001, we opened our doors with a simple belief: the right

environment can turn raw passion into a real career.

Since then, students have come to SFFS from across

the world, each with their own story, their own vision,

and their own definition of success. What we've learned

from all of them is that talent rarely needs to be created.

It needs to be seen, challenged, and given room to grow.

That's what we're here for.

Whether you're just starting out or ready to build

the portfolio that changes everything, we'd love to

be part of that journey.

Expert Mentor System

Seminars with Leading Hollywood Professionals

​​We don't just teach industry standards — we bring you inside them. SFFS maintains direct connections with working professionals at major Hollywood studios, giving students regular access to real production environments, workflows, and the people actually running them. The goal isn't just education. It's getting you fluent in how the global industry actually operates before you graduate.
