American University - School of Communication (B.A.)
Very Unhappy with the Film ProgramI apologize for the very long post, but I have a lot of things to say about the Film and Media Arts department at AU. I am EXTREMELY unhappy with the undergraduate Film and Media Arts program at American University and I mean that in the most respectful way. I say that I'm unhappy because... -

The filmmakers who come mostly make low-rated films that happen to need a boost of marketing. Occasionally they are good, don't get me wrong, but it's just gonna be once... -
USC Cinematic Arts - Film and Television Production (MFA)

The first year is remedial film. If you’ve ever taken film before, it’s useless. 6 units are devoted to critical studies, which at the time of writing...

We live in a time in which cinema, the theatrical exhibition of films to a paying public, is no longer the primary venue in which films are consumed. But even as it is being transformed by television, video, and digital media, cinema seems to survive, and...
