Brooklyn College is starting a new master's program for budding movie makers.
Film director Jonathan Wacks will run the Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, which is located inside Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Students say that kind of access is guaranteed to launch film careers.
Wacks says applicants don't necessarily have to have a background in film. He says he is more interested in people who have great ideas and the potential to be great filmmakers.
The program, which is currently accepting applications, has just under 100 seats available for the fall of 2015.
