You will probably get many answers, but fwiw afoaf got a finance degree to make his parents happy, then worked at a bank for 2 years and hated it. Film school seems to have been worth it for him, because he moved from Chicago to LA to attend one. He is working an admin job at a talent agency in addition to school. Talking to him, he emphasizes that it is a "foot in the door" deal where you slowly make contacts who might later help you with your own project - a slow process. But he's happier now. Good luck to you. |

Do you think that would be a better choice then just moving to LA and trying to get in there somehow, without going the path of film school. |

this is a hard decision many of us artisans face. is my dream realistic will i make it? i think this is a concern of yours Kevin Smith says get as much credit as you can, and get as many credit cards you need maxed to make your movie. on the other hand, if you can go to school, then why not? all that training will if anything give you more confidence and more of a foundation, plus art schools like art institute, where im going to go, www.aipx.edu you have access to contacts in the buisness, plus, plus they HELP you to get internships, and serious paying jobs after high school. film graduates at art institute have over 75 percent employment within 6 months of graduation. so id say shop around and find the school that is going to give your art a fine tuning, while still coming out the other side as you, and gives you contacts, and a chance to use their very expensive resources for making some films to show potential investors. full sail college, also has alot of very succesful graduates from their film programs, theyre based in florida. and they might have a 2 year program. i was thinking of going their for recording arts because they have a 2 year program. a 4 year too if you want buisness skills with it. well you got that my friend! so check out if they have a 2 year, to lessen the burden on your finances. if you really love it man, you ll make it, thats what any succesful artist will tell you. i personally want to act, i have wanted to act since i was 2 and i believe when your that young you have the knowledge of the real purpose that youre here, but im still going to school for some back up options incase its just a delusion. but hey more school never hurts. |

if you found my statement at all helpful heres an addition i have a friend whos an aspiring film maker who currently works as a cameraman for a local tv network. he has ambitions of being a director, and ive had a small role in a short film he did. but he doesnt have the financial resources or motivation to really get moving- my own observation. if youre in the same spot, get loans and grants, which the private schools are very helpful with, and they'll also give you the deadlines, procastonators like me need in order, to work hard. |
