City of Las Vegas · The Gas Station Studios · Arts & Technology
This generation consumes and communicates through content. Next Move Media Academy exists to move students from simply watching media to actually creating it, inside a real studio, on real equipment, to real professional standards.
The goal is career exposure as much as craft: video production, sports broadcasting, esports, entertainment, marketing, streaming, and digital storytelling are all live career paths in Las Vegas, and most students have never been shown the door.
The curriculum
1. The Vision · Directing
Leading the set, framing the narrative, and bringing a creative concept to life from the page.
2. The Look · Camera & Lighting
Mastering shot types, understanding how angles invoke emotion, and painting a scene with light.
3. The Sound · Audio Engineering
Rigging lavalier mics, operating boom sticks, and capturing crystal-clear audio on location.
4. The Climax · Commercial Production
Collaborating as a full crew to produce a high-impact, professional-grade commercial. Student work has run on the jumbotron during NBA Summer League.
What students take with them
Every participant finishes with hands-on experience across the full production pipeline and professional-quality work for their creative portfolio. Alongside the Academy, TSF’s On-Air Broadcasting & Film track puts students inside a live broadcast studio writing scripts, hosting segments, filming, editing, and producing broadcast-ready content across a 13-week curriculum.
Built with our partners
Next Move Media Academy is delivered in partnership with the City of Las Vegas and The Gas Station Studios, connecting creativity, technology, and workforce development for the next generation of Las Vegas storytellers.
