what are colleges looking at?
And I'm aware I was using the word "credentials" improperly... it's creative license.- Bob A

UCLA, like any of the other UCs, is a paperwork thing. You need to satisfy their credentials... it's all a bureaucratic mess. If your grades are at their standard, and your SATs are at their standards, or if you're transferring from a communitiy college, then you're in pretty good shape. I...- Bob A

Why Chapman University is the best school for the aspiring indie filmmaker
In terms of reputation and what will get you a job just based on name, right now NYU is... well, it's quite a name. On friday I'm shooting an interview with Wim Wenders and whatshernamewho'sinhislatestfilm, and going to a premier for the event tomorrow - solely because of the NYU name. The chap...- Bob A

I think they justify it by... actually I don't know... NYU's policy is you don't own the movie until it's fulfilled its educational purpose(i.e. end of class) - a functional limitation. Can anyone at USC clear this up? I don't *think* it's a money thing.- Bob A

When I was choosing a film school, ownership was a big deal for me, and it's what really turned me off USC. While I have no regrets whatsoever - Tisch is the bomb - I think you're probably right on the ownership issue. When it comes down to it, your film-school films' function is to get you...- Bob A

Worries from a Junior -- PLEASE HELP A LOST SOUL!!!
You can do more when you have money than when you don't. Case in point, the short we've just worked on - we wanted rain. If I weren't willing to spend an extra hundred dollars on making a rain machine, it wouldn't have happened. Would it work without rain? Yes. Just not quite as well - and I'd...- Bob A

Community Colleges
any california based community college puts you in a good position to transfer to a UC - and UCLA is one of the best film schools in the country. You have to work your ass off though - UCLA is a tough school to transfer into, you need perfect grades and a very active extra-curricula background...- Bob A

Worries from a Junior -- PLEASE HELP A LOST SOUL!!!
When it comes down to it, what good is art if nobody sees it? Then it's not art. It's an outlet. While USC teaches their students to work within the studio system, it by no means encourages "anything but creativity and honesty". To say that film school teaches it's students how to "conform to...- Bob A
