JOHOR BARU: Movies with Hollywood-style content that's where the local film industry could be headed for.
This has been made possible with a collaboration between Multimedia University (MMU) and the University of Southern California (USC) to offer a Bachelor of Cinematic Arts course, said to be the first in Malaysia.
“Ours is different from other film-related courses available locally as we focus on a wide range of subjects involving activities in the film making industry,” said MMU chairman Datuk Dr Halim Shafie.
He said the syllabus offered in the programme include cinematography, screen writing, directing, post production and television writing as well as script-to-screen approach.
Halim said the university decided to work with USC as it was recognised worldwide for its prestigious film programmes and studies that produced Hollywood personalities.
Among them are Ugly Betty's America Ferrera, Kelly Preston, who starred alongside Tom Cruise in Jerry McGuire and movie legend John Wayne.
Halim said the programme would start at the university's Cyberjaya campus from June 2012 before moving to its new campus in Educity@Nusajaya near here upon completion in 2014.
