"A career in television, film, digital media, and game design isn't simply about having excellent technical skills.

It also requires entrepreneurial, reliability, and follow-through," says the founding dean of Biola's Snyder School of Cinema and Media Arts, which has been named one of the top film schools in the world by industry publications, including Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.

"It also requires teamwork, reliability, and follow-through."

The Los Angeles school, named after In-N-Out co-founder Esther L.

Snyder, offers degrees in cinema and media arts, writing for film and television, and game design and interactive media.

On Sept.

6, 2024, Biola will break ground on a new studio building, a 45,463-square-foot facility that will "support the full-classwork of content creation from ideation to pre-production, to post-production, all the way through final presentation inside our state-of-the-art production theater," says Tom Halleen, the school's founding dean.

The building will include a production center, studio space for student-led film productions, and "millions of dollars worth of state-of-the-art equipment," Halleen says.
