STUDENTS IN ACTION

“I started at TFS with essentially no portfolio to speak of, and left with a diverse, professional, industry-ready body of work. I’ve made industry connections, had my work showcased in film festivals globally, and even became an entrepreneur! I’m so thankful for the plunge I decided to take with TFS.”
