The Master’s Program in Montage at FAMU is a full-time, English-taught, three-year course designed for graduates in film or related fields who wish to become creative editors — artists who shape the rhythm, structure, and emotional power of audiovisual storytelling. Rather than training technicians, the program forms editors as co-authors of meaning and collaborators in the filmmaking process. Rooted in the distinguished tradition of FAMU’s Department of Editing, the program emphasizes the editor’s role as a dramaturgical and conceptual partner to the director. Through hands-on workshops, critical seminars, and intensive collaboration across departments, students develop both artistic vision and professional discipline.
