“Hudson County Community College is fertile ground for the entertainment industry that enriches our lives through cinema and TV,” HCCC President Dr. Christopher Reber said in a statement.

“Many great films like the Bob Dylan biopic ‘A Complete Unknown’ were produced here in Hudson County. We are honored to be among the first community colleges to help lead this industry comeback in New Jersey.”

Supported by the New Jersey Council of County Colleges (NJCCC) and New Jersey Business & Industry Association’s (NJBIA) New Jersey Pathways to Career Opportunities, the initiative in partnership with the New Jersey Film Academy will offer comprehensive training in the entertainment industry.

Those who successfully complete the academy’s curriculum will receive a certificate of completion and connections to internships and entry-level jobs.

The New Jersey Film Academy offers four curriculum courses that were modeled on a best-in-class program: Introduction to the Entertainment Industry, On-set Production, Production Office and Accounting, and Hair, Makeup, and Wardrobe.

Beginning April 7th, HCCC will offer “Script to Screen: Introduction to the Entertainment Industry,” the prerequisite course required for the three other courses.

The nine-week, $375 course runs Monday and Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. in rigorous, college-level classes at the HCCC Journal Square Campus.

Students will learn industry standards, practices and procedures; script development including group writing and story pitching; on-set safety, audiovisuals, and documents; production, post-production and distribution; and more.

The course is taught by Hisani P. Dubose who brings nearly three decades of experience performing in film, television and theater to her instruction.
