New Renaissance Florence Film School's Mission Statement: We are an innovative film and new media school for visionary artists. At the New Renaissance Florence Film and New Media School, our emphasis is to create a highly personal and advanced learning environment that helps students effectively communicate their highest message through the art of creative storytelling which springs from their inner journey of self discovery and deep personal growth. In our programs students will learn about the depth that lies within them and to effectively communicate this by incorporating a multitude of new expressive mediums including digital film and graphics, performance art, interactive storytelling, and multi media events. Rather than focusing on our students breaking into an already saturated industry to follow the visions of a select few, we help our students break out to become pioneers of their own creative talents and help evolve our modern artistic and educational mediums. We ground students' creative talent with solid and creative marketing tools so they can reach and grow their own audiences and enter the limitless oprotunities that are now availible for new media artists with vision. We not only help students develop effective marketing tools to get their message to the global community but we support our students' exploration and development of new means of conveying stories to the emerging markets.
