DEAR STUDENT
 
         I have been in your same situation.  Myself, I am going to community
college.  I know the name community college doesnt sound exiting, but in my
first year I have already made 3 videos, two short films, and payed
practicaly nothing.
       So my opinion is: if you want to make films and just make films, go to
a film school that teaches you how to make films(Vancouver Film School,
Columbia College of Hollywood, or there are great Two Year Schools that offer
amazing programs); on the other hand, if you want to take four years to make
one 16mm production and pay over 120,000 dollars to learn theory, generaly
liberal courses, and little Film production and post-production; then go to a
four year school.
 
That's just my opinion from someone who's been in your situation.
 
Thanks,
Sean H.
