If you are a Tisch-bound film student in the Liberal Studies Program at New York University and you don't want to wait until next year before jumping into the film experience, LSP Productions will get you involved in the collaborative filmmaking process - right from your first semester at NYU! Founded by students who couldn't wait to get their hands on a camera and start a production, LSP Productions has been providing the opportunity for LSP to Tisch tracked students to come together to start doing what they came to NYU to do since Fall of 2008 - the chance to make films. To view previous projects, please check out our "films" section, or navigate to "upcoming" to see what's coming soon.
