ABOUT US
Industry Media Arts was founded in 2009 with a single conviction: that students who can't afford film school deserve access to the same quality of training as those who can. Over 15 years later that conviction drives everything we do, from after-school programs at vocational academies to college-level production courses to professional development for educators building new media programs from the ground up.
​
We are not a classroom company. We are practitioners who teach. Our founder and staff bring credits from ESPN, NFL Films, Discovery Channel, and MLB Network into every program we design and every room we work in.
IMA partners with schools, vocational programs, colleges, and community organizations to design and deliver media production and journalism programs that are built to last. We develop curriculum, train educators, advise on equipment, and provide ongoing on-site support, so institutions aren't starting from scratch and students aren't left without a pathway when a program pilot ends.​
Our programs have produced documented outcomes: student placements into full-time positions at industry partner studios, morning news programs running in schools, mini-documentaries screened publicly, and students accepted into competitive college media programs.
​
We measure success the same way the industry does, by what students can do when they leave the room.
