Keeping a count on how many times I say "learn & grow" in this video. Lol. I want to hear your thoughts! Do you think film school is a valuable decision?
I think it depends, it's definitely beneficial if you want to experiment, and be open to learning anything new, including the things you think you know already.... Be open to go through that again, and possibly learn nothing new, or learn some new things, every little bit helps, I think. But the biggest pros you mentioned was the safety aspect, and meeting new people, who are into the same thing you are, they are by far some of the most wonderful conversations, and experience's most people will go through.... Everyone is excited, nervous, motivated, and plenty of colourful characters. That and the ability to try, test, and improve, all with being able to fail, and not lose a whole lot, is very beneficial. That and the ability to pay off ones debt slightly easier is very helpful. But to each their own, some will be better off, going in a different direction. P.S. some film school degrees will actually get you jobs in the right circumstances, not always of course. Great video, a lot more informative then I assumed it would be, wonderful.
Good point - you can definitely get jobs from film school, even if indirectly, but especially from your mentors & their connections. Glad you enjoyed the video! Stick around, I have lots of things to talk about!

TH-cam is the University for filmmakers now. There are so many free instructors here.....
Precisely! It's so easy to learn things on TH-cam, as long as you're curious.
