A friend of mine graduated from the undergrad program. It's not a production based program although they have a couple screenwriting and digital production classes. The focus is on film theory, however he loved the school's program. Supposedly there are quite a few filmmakers that visit the school too, as well as individual film classes. Hope this helps.

Olivia,
If you don't mind me asking: What was your friend's original focus going into the film program? And, is he working in the film business currently?
I don't mean to be nosy, but Berkeley is one of the schools that is probably a 'dream school' and maybe I can get an idea of what the program entailed.

He wanted to focus on production, but again, the program was more theory based. Most of his production experience was gotten from internships while he was in school. He's currently working in LA for a post-production studio. If you really want to know about the school's program, you should probably go to Berkeley and talk to the advisors and students. Good luck with all your schools.
