At RFI
We believe in the power of storytelling to reshape the world. Our unique online conservatory is designed for storytellers, screenwriters, and filmmakers who dare to challenge the status quo. Here, you’ll find a home for bold visions and transformative stories—the kind that Hollywood often overlooks.
Create the films no one else will.
RFI is a global learning community that values people over profit and narrative innovation over conformity. Our students craft stories that challenge, inspire, uplift, and heal. We embrace storytelling that entertains and makes a difference.
No matter your background or skill level, RFI welcomes students of all ages, experiences, and cultural identities. Whether you’re new to filmmaking or a seasoned creator, our conservatory has something for you.
If you have a brave and bold vision, we invite you to join us.
Transformative Storytelling for a Transforming World
We live in a time of profound change, and the world needs transformative stories. At RFI, we believe:
Creativity is a cornerstone of resilience.
Through art, we make meaning of our lives and the world around us.
Storytellers are essential to navigating and shaping the future.
It’s time for stories that challenge convention and embrace innovation. Stories that imagine ourselves and our world in new, expansive ways. Stories that haven’t yet been told.
Let us help you tell yours.
