Common Questions

Who are these courses for?

Our programs are designed for students, creators, and professionals who want to explore the intersection of film, design, and AI. Whether you’re preparing for art school, building a creative portfolio, or learning new storytelling tools, there’s a course for you at MML.

Do I need any prior experience?

No prior experience is required for most courses. Each program starts from the basics and gradually moves into advanced topics. Students with previous film, design, or programming experience can take on deeper, project-based work.

How long is each course?

Most courses run for 12 weeks (or 12–24 sessions, depending on the program). Shorter workshops (e.g., AI 3D Model & Print) may run as weekly sessions or weekend intensives.

What will I learn to do?

You’ll learn to create real projects — such as short films, AI-generated scenes, 3D prints, or digital portfolios. By the end of each course, you’ll have a complete, showcase-ready piece to add to your portfolio or use in applications.

Are the classes online or in person?

We offer both formats. In-person workshops are held in Vancouver. Online programs include live sessions, recorded materials, and 1-on-1 feedback through our learning platform.

Will this help with art school or job applications?

Absolutely. Many of our students use their MML projects as part of portfolio submissions for film, design, or media programs, and others include them in job applications to creative studios or tech companies.
