Depth checklist

Institution: New York Film Academy (NYFA)
Program Name: Online MA in Entrepreneurial Producing and Innovation

Width checklist

Tuition Cost: $10,000 per semester
Technology Fee: $535
Project 1: Short film (or new media projects)
Project 2: Single project finance plans
Project 3: Marketing and distribution plans
Project 4: Episodic television series bibles
Project 5: Pitch decks (or start-up company business plans/websites)

Examiner rationale

The question uses Deep Logic by describing unique content within the 'Reasoning Chain' text (specific roles of the AD and the state of distribution) to force the identification of the specific institution (NYFA). It then applies Wide Scope by requiring the aggregation of financial details and a comprehensive list of curriculum projects found in the separate 'Target Answers' text.

Score 1 - 0

Agent A correctly identified the entity (New York Film Academy) based on the specific text quotes provided in the prompt (e.g., 'streaming is now king'). Agent B failed the Deep Logic check by identifying the wrong institution (NFTS). However, Agent A is only 'Better' rather than 'Much Better' because its specific details regarding tuition ($6,915 vs Ground Truth $10,000) and the project list (missing the 'Short film' requirement) did not align with the provided Ground Truth checklist.

Online Master of Arts (M.A.) in Entrepreneurial Producing & Innovation – New York Film Academy (NYFA). NYFA’s guide to the seven stages of film production describes “Production” as the point when “the Assistant Director coordinates the teams and calls, ‘Action!’,” while “Distribution” observes that “streaming is now king” [1]. The same institution delivers the fully online Master of Arts (M.A.) in Entrepreneurial Producing & Innovation, a 36-credit, project-driven degree that trains creatives to package, finance, market, and distribute screen content [3]. Cost breakdown (2024-25 academic year) • Tuition: US $6,915 per semester (4 semesters) • Technology/Lab fee: US $750 per semester • Additional fees: one-time US $100 registration fee and a US $50 student activity fee each term [2]. E-portfolio requirements ensure graduates leave with tangible, investor-ready materials. At minimum, students build: 1. A comprehensive pitch deck for an original feature, series, or multiplatform project. 2. A detailed finance plan and recoupment waterfall outlining budget, soft-money incentives, and equity scenarios. 3. A professional business plan for a startup production company or other media venture. 4. A marketing and audience-building strategy covering festival, social, and influencer outreach. 5. A distribution roadmap comparing theatrical, TVOD/EST, AVOD/SVOD (“streaming-first”) and international sales pathways. Many cohorts also add an investor pitch video, a festival submission package, and a branded-content proposal, giving graduates a versatile portfolio for financiers, studios, or grant panels [3]. ## References list [1] New York Film Academy. “The Seven Stages of Film Production.” https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/the-seven-stages-of-film-production/ [2] New York Film Academy. “Tuition & Dates – Online MA in Entrepreneurial Producing & Innovation.” https://www.nyfa.edu/admissions/tuition/online-ma-entrepreneurial-producing-innovation [3] New York Film Academy. “Online MA in Entrepreneurial Producing & Innovation – Program Overview.” https://www.nyfa.edu/online/masters/ma-entrepreneurial-producing-innovation
