About

Learn from ground-breaking professional Music Video Directors, Animators, and Screenwriters.

This is not a set of courses where you just take notes and watch movies, no way.

These courses have YOU MAKING MOVIES, right away. No waiting. You are going to learn as you do.


At Dorenfeld Development, your instructors are kinda like the Olympic Coaches of the film industry getting you ready for the real games, and getting you to make full projects ready for competition.


They've worked with everyone, well a lot, from The Red Hot Chili Peppers to System of a Down, from George Clinton to Nate Dogg, from Zap Mama to Erykah Badu, from Def Leppard to Ministry, from The Offspring to Linkin Park, from Disco 2000 to Electric Daisy Carnival, from Feature Films to TV Series, from Dreamworks to Propaganda Films, Celebrity Death Match, MTV, MAD TV, these instructors, writers/directors/animators, have been on the cutting edge of film and animation forever now, still going at it, and keeping it interesting all along the way.


Here at the Dorenfeld Development program, it is not about the Latest 3D Technology that takes a billionaire to use, no, here you learn how to use original techniques with the tools you can get "your" hands on that "you" can make with your own hands, in a reasonably short amount of time, and keeping it all pro.


While everyone else goes to film school for four years and makes maybe one little short film, you can just come here and learn from some of the best, before you graduate.


Prior to the inception of the Dorenfeld Development Program, these same professionals have been, and continue to produce Artists on the Autism Spectrum in the Arts of Storytelling for Dorenfeld's Tink Tank Animate LLC. It was because of the tremendous success of the artists in the Tink Tank program, that the Neurotypical community requested Dorenfeld develop a similar professional training program that enables young filmmakers to directly enter the industry, the competitions, and festivals during and/or soon after high school like their neurodiverse counterparts at Tink Tank Animate LLC.


note* IF you are on the Autism Spectrum, please visit Tink Tank Animate on AfterschoolHQ. Those are not only your peers, there is also a different variety of activities, workshops, and pricing differences.
