Our Story

Take Two Film Academy was founded in 2009 with a simple mission: to make filmmaking and media literacy education accessible to a generation of young people. Since then, we’ve served thousands of students at dozens of schools in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, and Boston. Our student-produced films have been featured at the Tribeca Film Festival each year since 2013, and have earned rave reviews at a variety of local film festivals. We use a hands-on approach to learning that allows kids and teenagers to control every step of the creative process while learning invaluable (and fun) lessons along the way.
