UNY Film School is an intensive, selective program located in the heart of New York City. Each year, UNY awards one student the coveted Filmic Achievement Award. Buck Felty, Dean and Screenwriting professor, approached Kevin Kerwin to document the selection process for the award. Kerwin was given an all-access pass to the school and was able to examine the workings of the program at UNY: the instruction, the work, the competition, and the selection of the winner. The result is Filmic Achievement, a revealing look at film school and the equally misunderstood and passionate filmmakers of tomorrow.
