----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Sorry for the Newbie naivete; I'm sure many of you out there are pros, experts etc., but a quick response to my question would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking at Film Schools. Knowing next to nothing, my understanding is that USC, UCLA & NYU are the "best" (arbitrary term I know) with Columbia up there somewhere. Now I know that's like saying only Ivy schools are good or something lame like that, but what other schools out there are exciting, high quality, "up and coming", etc. Again _all_ comments are appreciated.
