Filmmaking school

Asbury University, Wilmore, has partnered with the Kentucky Film Office to create the Kentucky Film Certification Program, offering specialized training certifications in areas including audio, camera, grip, electric, production, set construction and more.

In September, Dr. Sandra Gray, president of Asbury, said, “Our nationally recognized media communication undergraduate and graduate programs, along with the newly launched Kentucky Film Certification course, will allow current college students, working professionals and unemployed citizens the opportunity to obtain training and credentials needed to enter the film industry workforce.”

Given the growth of Kentucky-made films, it is expected that 700 people will be needed to work in film over the next couple of years.
