Welcome & News!

We're glad you're here! This guide is your go-to resource for everything the School of Cinematic Arts, the Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media, and DePaul University offer to support your journey as a filmmaker.

Here you’ll find information on facilities, equipment, and safety to help you get the most out of your time at SCA. While we update this guide regularly, details may change throughout the year. This handbook is meant as a resource to help you navigate production at SCA, it isn’t a legal contract. If anything is unclear, please don’t hesitate to reach out to SCA faculty or staff.

Collaboration is key at SCA. We value respect, responsibility, and care for each other, our spaces, and our gear. Treat your classmates and crew like the creative family they are, and help us keep our community strong, inclusive, and supportive.

Let’s make great stories together and take care of the people and tools that help us tell them.
