A question about film schools?

[BA092784]

Hi, I'm new here. I just recently discovered that I would much rather study screenwriting and acting (than what I'm currently studying, social work), two things that I have always been passionate about, but I never thought I could pursue seriously. Because of this I dont't have much of a film portfolio and I'm wondering if there's any good schools I could still get into?

work on your folio then try. but theres nothing to loose applying now as well, but any good filmschools are competitive to get into

Dont go to film school. Stay in whatever college you are in and just write. If you can try to get into a university with a good community and get a writing degree or something. One big hint about making movies, is that going to any school isnt going to get you a job making movies anywhere, you need to make that opertunity yourself.

Just sit down and write stuff all the time.

i agree with gomez, however, i suggest taking some film courses at your school of some kind. also, if u think its a strong passion, try taking some summer courses or soemthing. if it still jogs ur interest, work on a portfolio - possibly apply to another school, or maybe graduate school

good luck
