Media Education That Fits Your Schedule
Smashcut was designed to give you the right tools to hone your craft. You’ll be able to access your course syllabus, hold lively class discussions, and get text reminders about upcoming meetings and deadlines. You’ll collaborate with other emerging filmmakers using a range of communication options.
Smashcut maximizes flexibility for students’ busy lifestyles, allowing you to complete some course components—like viewing film assignments and watching lectures—on your own time, while also enabling you to meet with your instructor and classmates one-on-one or for lively group discussions.
Becoming adept at telling visual stories requires a different type of education than what is needed in other fields. Our platform is specifically designed to meet aspiring filmmakers where they are and let them collaborate with other students who are equally dedicated to the art of filmmaking.
