At the Newark Film School, our mission is to cultivate a robust pipeline for local filmmakers to enter and excel in the film industry. Through rigorous education, mentorship, and hands-on training, we empower aspiring filmmakers from diverse backgrounds to develop their unique voices and technical skills. Our commitment extends beyond teaching the craft of filmmaking; we aim to foster a community where creativity thrives, stories are told authentically, and societal perspectives are explored and celebrated.

Thompson has directed multiple feature films for Lifetime TV Network that are available on Disney +, Apple TV, Hulu, and more. Nicole L. Thompson has also produced animated children series for Nickelodeon, Noggin, HBOMax, Cartoon Network, and Lion Forge Entertainment.
By providing experienced faculty, we ensure that our students receive comprehensive preparation for the challenges and opportunities of the cinematic world. Through partnerships with local film organizations, businesses, and cultural institutions, we facilitate real-world experiences and networking opportunities, bridging the gap between education and professional practice.
