Screenwriting division: campuses in New York and Los Angeles (plus online options)

Examiner rationale

The question uses the logic of the seven stages of film production (development vs. producing across financing/marketing/distribution) to indirectly point to two specific NYFA entities without naming them (Deep reasoning). It then requires aggregating detailed program structures, curriculum elements, formats, duration, and tuition across both entities (Wide scope), ensuring the responder must synthesize information from multiple program descriptions rather than a single source.

Score 0 - 1

First, Deep Logic: Agent A completely failed to identify either required NYFA entity and refused to answer, so it failed DEEP logic. Agent B correctly identified the Screenwriting School and an online producing master’s program, satisfying the core entity requirement. Second, Width/Completeness: Agent A provided none of the checklist details. Agent B included several correct elements for Screenwriting (AFA, BFA, MFA, NY/LA campuses, portfolio outcomes), but missed key required details such as the 1-Year Program, 15-Week/4-Week online workshops with prerequisites. For the producing degree, Agent B introduced inaccuracies (focused on an MFA in Media Producing, incorrect duration, no mention of the 3-semester structure, $10,000 per semester tuition, or e-portfolio capstone). Thus, Agent B has notable factual gaps and some hallucinated specifics. Finally, User Experience: Despite its inaccuracies, Agent B provided a structured, informative, citation-supported response that attempts to address the query comprehensively. Agent A offered a refusal with no substantive content, resulting in very poor utility. Because Agent B contains factual errors, it cannot earn MUCH_BETTER. However, it clearly outperforms Agent A in both substance and usability. Therefore: B_BETTER.

The provided search results contain general information about the seven stages of film production but do not include specific details about New York Film Academy (NYFA) programs, divisions dedicated to screenwriter training, or online master's degrees for producers. To answer your query about (1) the NYFA division for screenwriter training and (2) the fully online master's program for executive-level producers—including their academic offerings, structure, curriculum components, program duration, delivery mode, and tuition—I would need search results that directly address NYFA's current program offerings and specifications. The search results provided focus on the filmmaking process itself (development, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution stages) rather than institutional training programs. To provide accurate, cited information about NYFA's specific programs meeting your criteria, a targeted search about NYFA's current curriculum, program formats, and institutional structure would be necessary. If you'd like me to answer this question comprehensively with proper citations, please provide search results that specifically cover NYFA's screenwriting and producer programs, or allow me to conduct a fresh search focused on these institutional offerings. ## References The provided search results do not contain information relevant to answering the specific question about NYFA programs.

TheNew York Film Academy (NYFA) **Screenwriting School** is the division dedicated to training writers who create the foundational scripts of visual storytelling. It offers AFA, BFA, and MFA degree programs at campuses in New York, Los Angeles, and South Beach. The curriculum focuses on core storytelling elements, utilizing intensive workshops in character development, dialogue, and scene structure. A distinctive feature is the "Table Reads," where student scripts are performed to provide feedback on narrative flow. Students graduate with a portfolio of original work, including feature screenplays and TV pilots. Program duration ranges from one year for conservatory programs to two or four years for degrees, with tuition varying by campus [1]. To train entrepreneurial producers for executive-level operations, NYFA offers the fully online **Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Media Producing**. This two-year terminal degree is designed for students seeking leadership roles, covering the full spectrum of the producing cycle: financing, marketing, distribution, and physical production. The program includes a curriculum on media literacy, entertainment law, and film finance. The major outcome is a professional thesis project, which can be a feature film package or a new media proposal. A one-year **Master of Arts (MA)** in Film and Media Producing is also offered online. These programs provide flexible scheduling for working professionals, with tuition costs typically calculated per semester credit hour [2]. ## References [1] New York Film Academy, "Screenwriting School," NYFA.edu, https://www.nyfa.edu/screenwriting-school/ [2] New York Film Academy, "Online Media Producing School," NYFA.edu, https://www.nyfa.edu/online/producing-school/
