The measure of a program should be what it achieves for its students when they transition into the "real world" of national and international filmmaking.

Although The Berkeley Digital Film Institute is a relatively new program, the results achieved by current and recent former students of Berkeley Digital Film Institute are somewhat exceptional; we feel they speak for themselves.

Within the past 12 months, recent graduates have achieved the following results:

Film Festivals:

11 student films were accepted into eight major film festivals including;

National Television:

Jodi Martinson and her colleagues have won a National Emmy award for their Frontline documentary on Ghana.

Students from the program worked as employees on the NBC show "Trauma".

MTV Music Videos:

Former students have Directed and acted as Director of Photography on 2 music videos for Sean "Dirty Money" Combs, 2 videos for .50 Cent, 2 videos for Justin Bieber, and 6 videos for rapper Chris Brown, and have directed and shot more than 20 other major acts.

The video for Bieber, "Never Let You Go", has taken 110 million (and counting) hits on YouTube, making it the 20th most-watched video in the history of the YouTube channel.

Feature Films:

Students in this program worked for a year on "IronMan 2" at Industrial Light and Magic and are currently taking meetings with the producers of the film "Oceans Eleven".
