About The International Thesis Film Project:
The International Thesis Film Project is a real world production experience in which Ghetto Film School (GFS) New York, Los Angeles, and London Fellows write, shoot, and edit short Thesis Films in an international location.

In a year-long process, Fellows study the classic and contemporary cinema of the selected country, and write short scripts based on the culture, history and/or landscape of the international location. The top script, the director of the film, and the crew are chosen through a student-led selection process.

Fellows receive feedback from top actors and industry leaders through a Table Read process. The student crew shoots the Thesis Film during a 10-day trip to an international location, and the finished films screen at a premiere hosted by A-list actors and filmmaking professionals.

In August of 2021, GFS LDN Fellows in partnership with SISTER and supported by Bloomberg, shot their International Thesis Film in Amsterdam.
