You know, it's interesting to hear about the FSU Film school.  I'm at the

other end of the country in Washington [ST], and when I wanted to go to film

school, found nothing existed in my entire state.[Some trend setting

state, right ?] I was constantly referred to the standard UCLA, USC, NYU,

list of schools and then seemingly as afterthoughts SanFrancisco, and

Vancouver, British Columbia.  Perhaps this does not bode well for FSU and

it's percieved reputation.  Perhaps it's ir-relevant.  Astonishingly, all

I've ever heard about the value of film school from current working film

directors are the contacts and placements it yeilds. [of course these

directors didn't graduate from a film school.  Most directors working prior

to 1980 did not]. I don't see how a film school worthy of the name could

NOT add to your working knowledge and tools.  I would like to see the LA

stranglehold on film education be broken, somehow [with all due respect

to UCLA et all].  I think the Northwest US deserves ONE film school, and

I'd be happy to hear about FSU.  Good Luck.            Patrick Butler
