Take Two Film Academy was established in 2009 with a clear mission: to make filmmaking and media literacy accessible to young people. Over the years, we've had the privilege of serving thousands of students across New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, and Boston. Our hands-on approach empowers kids and teenagers to take charge of every stage of the creative process, all while gaining invaluable skills in a fun and engaging environment. Through our programs, students not only learn the art of filmmaking, but also develop critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities that will serve them well in all aspects of life. Take launched it's book "The Third Dimension of Literacy - how to bring filmmaking and media literacy into your classroom" in 2020.

Reviews
"An important benefit of the work we do with Take Two is the way in which it seamlessly integrates with the work we do in social studies and science. Our teachers appreciate an enrichment program that supports our curriculum and the work they do, rather than adding an extra burden for them. For example, our second graders created outstanding bird documentaries as the culmination of our bird study."
