We're in This Together.
KEEP AUSTIN LEARNING.
KEEP AUSTIN WORKING.
KEEP AUSTIN CREATING.
Dear students, members, and supporters,
Due to COVID19, there will be some temporary changes to Motion Media Arts Center and our award-winning programs: Austin School of Film & Austin Cinemaker Space.
We hope to have YOUR support in continuing our mission to keep ATX learning, working, and creating.
AUSTIN CINEMAKER SPACE
We understand that times are tough, and if you need to pause or cancel your membership - no hard feelings. We will be unable to fully open our doors back up (excluding dedicated desk or private studio members) until May 1, 2020.
However, that does not mean that we are completely closed to the community. We are “social distancing” our space until April 13, 2020. This means: our space is not open for the public or walk-ins/tours until May 1, 2020.
All studio and dedicated desk ACS members still have access to their private spaces and current non-24/7 members should have received an email concerning changes to their membership. We are respecting and fully complying with all protocols and regulations.
Our organization will also be completely sanitizing our space as recommended by CDC on a daily basis for the foreseeable future.
At times like these, we hope for your support to continue offering a safe & empowering place to learn, work, and create.

AUSTIN SCHOOL OF FILM
Austin School of Film’s goal, first and foremost, is to provide a safe and empowering space for our students to learn and create meaningful work - from films and animations to interactive art and design.
If you are currently enrolled in a class beginning in March or April, you will receive an email regarding class reschedule at least 7 business days before the start of your class — additional class sessions, and alternative options are also an option for current students. We have successfully moved & rescheduled over 36 classes scheduled to begin between March + April 2020!
We are currently working with all 31 of our amazingly talented educators on future classes, programs, and there may even be a digital surprise coming soon.
If you’re new here, take a look —we are enrolling for Summer 2020 from May - August with Fall 2020 dates dropping soon! Arm your creative toolboxes with cutting-edge skills & let us help you hone in on your craft!
