Going to film school at the age of AI

Hello everyone,
My name is Tal Lazar. I am a cinematographer and educator. I have taught at the American Film Institute Conservatory for 7 years and currently teaching for Columbia University School of the Art film program, as well as other film schools and programs. I have participated in application reviews, countless interviews and review boards and know the world of film education inside out. I've taught cinematographers, directors, producers and screenwriters.

I am lucky to be a guest here and sit down for an interview for FilmSchool.Org next week, and I'd love to address your most pressing questions and concerns. For example, many people have asked me recently about investing the years it takes to go to film school, as well as the high costs, when technology around movie making seems to be evolving in rapid speed. This topic, as well as any others of interest, can be explored in depth. Post your question here or in the official question thread and I'll do my best to answer!
