Brooklyn College’s Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema is Building on its Relationships with Leaders in the Media Industry
Named to The Hollywood Reporter’s annual list of Top 25 American Film Schools for the second straight year, Feirstein is getting guidance from notable industry veterans, including acclaimed actor-director John Turturro and executive David Linde, the CEO of renowned film production company Participant.
When Brooklyn College’s Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema hired film industry veteran and Academy Award-nominated producer Richard N. Gladstein as its new executive director in the summer of 2020, it knew it was getting someone with valuable experience.
Gladstein joined an accomplished team of faculty and staff at Feirstein, and the team is committed to connecting students to the industry and the industry to students. This engagement has come in the form of a growing list of award-winning filmmakers and veteran industry executives who have joined Feirstein’s Advisory Council and Mentorship Program. They provide counsel to Gladstein and the faculty, as well as direct mentorship to students on their thesis film projects. For the second straight year, Feirstein was named to The Hollywood Reporter’s list of “Top 25 American Film Schools.” Feirstein is in its seventh year and is located in Steiner Studios, making it the only film school in the U.S. on a working film lot.
