nuSTUDIOS Film Productions is CFA’s very own mini-Hollywood, having produced more than 22 short films since its inception in 2000, the finest of which have participated in both local and international film festivals. nuSTUDIOS offers a diverse range of activities and training programmes including masterclasses by industry professionals. Catering to all levels of filmmaking experience, nuSTUDIOS members can expect to gain first-hand experience through shooting their own short films.

Apart from film productions, nuSTUDIOS also programmes regular screenings for the larger campus audience to broaden exposure and foster a discerning eye for film styles and techniques by modern indie film auteurs. nuSTUDIOS is currently under the guidance of local film veteran Juan Foo, who has produced seminal films such as "Perth" and "Return to Pontianak".

The nuSTUDIOS team is split into two sections: the Production team, which oversees scriptwriting, camera, editing and works that involve film production such as scripting, storyboarding, filming, lighting, sound and post-production editing, and the Programmes team, which handles the curatorial and administrative aspects of nuSTUDIOS including events, programmes, marketing, publicity, distribution of films and partnerships with external arts organisations to promote good films.
