Phoenix is a young town with schools abounding with fresh young talent looking to make a name for themselves under the sun. Between Phoenix and the nearby university towns, students interested in film and video degrees should check out the Phoenix College Theatre & Film Department, one of the oldest and most respected theatre programs in Arizona . The Art Institute of Phoenix offers its visual effects and motion graphics program for a hands-on practical approach to training . Arizona State University and the University of Arizona have a film and media studies/media production major and a media arts program, respectively.
Potentially the best reason to head to Phoenix is the job market. The city is one of the fastest growing in the nation, and the numbers in the film and entertainment field show why. Job growth through 2013 for multimedia artists is projected at 7.6%, for producers/directors at 16.3%, for media and communication workers at 25.5%, and last but definitely not least, for camera operators at 35.9%.
