MICA’s Film & Video BFA and Filmmaking MFA programs are built for a changing industry, where filmmakers don’t have to be based in L.A. or New York to create meaningful, sustainable careers.
Based in the JHU-MICA Film Centre in Station North, students learn the full arc of filmmaking — writing, directing, cinematography, sound, editing, and new distribution models — while collaborating across disciplines and engaging directly with Baltimore’s vibrant creative community.
The director of the Film Centre, Taura Musgrove, exemplifies that arc. She earned her MFA by taking courses at both MICA and JHU, and then went on to work at Pixar, served as a Snap Augmented Reality Resident, twice been named a Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund Fellow, and founded her own production company. Her current projects span augmented reality, virtual reality, and community-centered storytelling.
Film is evolving. MICA filmmakers are evolving with it.
