How can I get into film school for directing?

  • Movies have always been a passion of mine and I want to pursue a directing career. I finished high school but I'm in this work-study program until I'm 21, so I'm sort of still in school even though I graduated. Anyway, the problem is through out my time in school, I was in learning-support classes(for students with trouble learning) and I was steered away from getting into some sort of school/college. Now what I want to know is, what REQUIREMENTS do I need to get into film school? Where should I start from where I am now? For people experienced in this field, do you think I have a chance? Thanks for reading.

  • Answer:

    There is a school in Santa Barbara that specializes in that type of thing. It's called Brooks Institute I believe. They offer scholarships, grants and loans. You should check it out. I wanted to go there but it's so far away from home. I'm a chicken! But they'll send you info and talk to you over the phone... Of course you have a chance!! http://www.brooks.edu/

With the price of technology today, you don't need film school. Simply buy a mini-dv camera, a good PC, some software, Robert Rodriguez' book "Rebel Without a Crew" and start experimenting. The best education for becoming a director is practice. Cheapest, too. If you go to film school, you will have a better chance at holding a boom mic or getting someone coffee, but it's a great short film or demo reel that's going to get attention for being a DIRECTOR. It doesn't take a degree to submit to festivals. Start filming, get good, and submit, submit, submit... if you're good and have a little luck on your side...
