Hello everyone! I'm a 42 year old financially stable management consultant who has made some short films in the past which have been selected in good film festivals and also got distribution. That was 5-6 years ago. I never went to film school, although took some workshops and read a lot on it. I need to keep my day job for obvious reasons, but still feel very strongly and passionate about films and making a career in the movies/tv.
I have been working on a feature length script and have also have plans to produce few short films/web series in the near future. Im currently based in NYC area, but open to move to LA as i feel its still the place where most working actors, directors, writers live and where most decisions by bigwigs are made (Studios, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc etc). I work in a field where I can be based anywhere (especially in the current Covid world), so moving is not an issue.
I feel that being part of a filmmaking program and school will help me give some structure to my ambitions- not to mention opportunity to meet like minded people and mentors in terms of faculty.
Im aware of UCLA extension program in LA and few other certificate programs here in NYU and New School, but ideally if I can find a graduate program which offers a part time degree that will be perfect. Any ideas, suggestions etc? Or if there is a possibility to enroll in a certificate program, but still possible to take some graduate level courses in the same school?
Also, apart from UCLA extension, are there any other good certificate programs/short term courses you guys may want to recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help.
