Following a successful three-year sojourn utilizing facilities elsewhere, the popular Indie Filmmaker's Bootcamp is returning to Alliant International University's San Diego campus, where it debuted to critical raves and capacity enrollment in 2003. In what is anticipated to be a long-term commitment, the move signals the further commitment to media arts education opportunities by AIU's Center for Undergraduate Education.

IFB director and AIU Filmmaker in Residence Michael Steven Gregory heralded the announcement. "We're very excited to be conducting the next bootcamp at AIU. Beyond the beauty of the campus and wide variety of locations available for shooting a movie, participants coming in from across the country now have affordable lodging available to them, on campus and within walking distance, which is essential after working 16 or 18 hours on the shoot and having only a two- or three-hour break before starting all over again."
