这份《美国电影制作 MFA 专业选校报告》，是主要针对 MFA（Master of Fine Arts）电影制作 production 方向 2019-2020 年申请，对于有志于进入电影行业成为导 演、制片、摄影、编剧、剪辑等的同学提供参考。总体来说分为综合型院校里的电影专业 和专业艺术学校里的电影专业两大类，其实有次序的排名并没有太多意义，但是可以作为 参考（比如 Hollywood Reporter 的排名）从选校的战略角度，更有意义的是给学校大概 分档（tire），这样保证自己各类层级的院校都有 cover，既有梦校也有保底学校。
总体来说好的电影学院集中在南加州和纽约，其次是佛罗里达、波斯顿和北加另外几所学 校。其中南加州以洛杉矶为中心无疑是整个电影商业工业体系的中心，其中一半的院校也 集中于此，而纽约以独立电影和 cinema study 著称。选取学校的时候，地理因素无疑也 是重要的一环，它提供了你在校学习阶段就可以大量接触实习和业内的拍摄机会。
