I would be done with my undergraduate degree a year from now and i plan to move to the UK as an international student to do an Masters in film directing through a scholarship. My intention to do this is not to get any connections from the film school but more so because I want to be surrounded in that learning space by people with the same interests.
I know the general consensus is to get out there and start making movies but tbh Im not ready to start living life as a hustling director in my crazy country. So i just feel that spending a year doing a masters in a film school, being in that learning space gives me the time and experience I need before I'm ready to delve into that world of hustling to make movies if that makes any sense.
Is this what an MA or MFA is. I've seen people say that MA in directing are for those that want to teach and there's no much practical work. That's not what I want. What I want is to be in a learning space where I can gain practical experience in directing for like a year or two maximim. Also are there other options I can take?
