About Us

---

American Arts, Film & TV Academy (AAFTA) is curator of ARTS education in the US. We are dedicated to providing elite yet affordable education, mentorships and personal development for emerging talent and content collaborators across the Performing Arts and Film and Television Industry. 

Our goal is to help artists thrive in creative living. Where there is equal opportunity and work available to any Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers and Performing Artists at any level. Where talent can be crafted, showcased and recognised across both stage and media platforms around the world. Where lives are driven more by joy and curiosity rather than fear and trauma. Where individuals can learn and grow in a safe, artistic and creative space. Where inclusive and productive education help to build self esteem and confidence, create flow and employment opportunities, and emphasise the importance of longevity. It’s the journey not the destination. 

1. We believe that education is transformational, not transactional. Therefor education should be accessible and affordable.     
2. We believe artists and creatives should be able to do what they love, with freedom and courage to be authentically themselves. Learning there is no right way to do build your career, only YOUR way.    
3. We believe in the Art, the Artist and the business. An artistic and creative triangle to represent stability and power in creative industries. Triangles represent manifestation, enlightenment, revelation, and a higher perspective. Marking a cycle of growth that leads individuals to a higher state of being and path towards enlightenment or connection to an omnipresent being.
