Are there any film schools that focus only on making documentaries?

There aren't any film schools that *exclusively* focus on documentary filmmaking to the exclusion of all other genres. Most film schools offer documentary filmmaking as a specialization or concentration within a broader film program. You might find programs heavily weighted towards documentary, with many faculty specializing in the area and a strong emphasis on documentary projects, but they will still likely offer courses in narrative filmmaking, cinematography, editing, sound design etc., which are all applicable across genres.

To find a strong documentary focus, look for programs that:

* Have prominent documentary filmmakers on faculty: Check the faculty bios for experience in the documentary field.

* Offer dedicated documentary courses and workshops: Look for courses specifically on documentary techniques, ethics, storytelling, and distribution.

* Showcase student documentaries prominently: A strong documentary program will highlight its students' work through screenings, festivals, and online platforms.

* Have strong industry connections in the documentary world: Look for partnerships with documentary production companies or festivals.

Instead of searching for a "only documentary" school, focus your search on finding programs with a strong *emphasis* on documentary within a broader filmmaking curriculum. Then, actively choose your coursework and projects to specialize in documentary.
