The Filmmaking Archive of the Montana State University Science and Natural History MFA Program

What is it?

The mission of the Montana State University Science and Natural History Filmmaking MFA Program is to train students with formal education and experience in science, engineering, or technology to become professional filmmakers. The SNHF program seeks to educate generations of filmmakers who have the knowledge needed to create accurate, innovative, and memorable programs and media that advance the public understanding of science in all its many manifestations.

Unlike a typical graduate program, virtually no two students in the SNHF will have the same educational background. This diversity of previous training makes for a thriving and organic interdisciplinary environment. The SNHF believes that through intense training, truly original perspectives, and an understanding of the infinite possibilities of experience, our students can master the past, capture the present, and create the future of science and natural history media.

MSU Science and National History Filmmaking MFA Theses cover a wide range of science disciplines and professional filmmaking expertise. MSU filmmaking graduate students have worked with: Museum of the Rockies, Montana Public Television, PBS, Wildlife Conservation Society, National Wildlife Federation, NASA, U.S. National Park Service, NOAA, National Science Foundation, U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
