Welcome to the Department of Radio-Television-Film

Master the evolving 21st-century media landscape.

Welcome to Austin, TX—home to great film festivals, a renowned live music scene, and some of today’s hottest feature filmmakers, TV show runners, and internationally recognized media scholars. And at the heart of Austin, seeding both the high-tech industry and vibrant arts community, is The University of Texas. It’s where you can write / direct / edit / shoot / produce the next Hollywood blockbuster, original television pilot, or small indie gem; where you can gain hands-on training with the latest and greatest animation and visual effects technology; and where you can launch your creative and professional career by honing your understanding of the historical, cultural, industrial and global contexts surrounding film, television, and digital media.

Our faculty of advanced graduate students, professors, and media professionals can help develop those interests and teach your kids the skills to make the content they love. Each session presents an opportunity for your kids to stay engaged creatively this summer while making friends and having fun with other imaginative kids.
