I’m looking to become a director aswell. I’m working a good paying job doing hard labor welding but I wish to pursue this career to follow my dreams. So I’m gathering all the info I can

1000% correct. I started doing none union bg in the early 2000's and PAing. I now Produce. No one ever asked me where did I go to film school at.

Been single for over 2 years, learning to find myself and even writing my first book. This song is absolutely stunning.

I just absolutely fell in love

Is that Robin's daughter Emma? I swear she looks just like Robin's little girl Emma. And we all know who Robin is because she has been on General Hospital since she was 13 years old.

i tend to make films that don't completely fit the genre that it's suppose to be. this video just explained a lot to me.

This really didn’t answer anything specific.

PA work is as valuable as a film school, because you get to watch and learn the mistakes people make that can cost productions money and time. Stephen Soderberg said that any reasonably intelligent adult can direct a film. But to run a set and know how the dynamics of a crew works is something you can only learn by being in that environment. So fetching coffee or pulling cable for a few years will teach you an enormous amount. And, most importantly, you will learns whether you actually want to do it or not.

Going to film school or any post-secondary school 99.99999% financial quick sand ⏳

I like the perspective that winning a festival is a tool that you can leverage for other opportunities.

Thank you for this!

Film School was quite beneficial for me - *however, I went to a upper vocational film school,* meaning we did real productions and everything was in our hands, while the lecturers were actual in-industry workers who served as our mentors for our production and doing their own productions on the side. This allowed us to work in the industry while having the safety net and high-end equipment provided by our school. The school insured our productions, but we had to create the productions from A-Z (including financing them). The lectures were brutally honest for our best interest, and didn’t sugar coat anything as if they were parents hanging their kid’s drawing on a fridge. They provided insight about the industry in our country (Norway), and were even open to include us in their own (or other’s) productions outside of study if we “qualified” for it (they didn’t invite anyone, especially not the ride-along students). If students got project-offers outside of study that would prevent them from being able to meet up, the school would still count it as related to the school. At the time, I was quite unsure whether it was valuable to me/us or not, but in retrospect it truly was. Once you’re done, however, everything is still up to you - you have to make your own way.

Thank you for this informative video, Ms. Burnison.

This is good!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION! This is really helping me as a new programmer for local film festival.

I’m about to graduate from film school and he’s damn right about not going. Total waste of time and money.

What confuses me is, when you watch any TV show, you see a lot of "producers" and "executive producers". Many of the producers are some of the actors of the show, but always the names of these producers appear in different moments on the screen. Why? Why not show them all at once and is there a hierarchy in the names and when they appear on the screen?

To be a successful producer, you need a lot of capital or have access to people who have a lot of capital.

Excellent information thank you

Film school in nz is like $8000

I would say don’t go to a film school where you won’t be on set daily and building your portfolio consistently. Almost every director I admire has a degree related to the arts in some way.

Long story short, it’s a totally dead prospect

I really like his closing statement " And you will learn if you want to"

So my question is, how do you get on to a film set with out a degree?

Thx

So to become a director without going to film school all you have to do is start a film festival? Gotcha.

Pleasantly surprised by the directness, honesty, and simpleness of the information given in this video.

I wish I had this kind of talk when I was younger. Not really having these wealth of information when I was younger, I too thought that all there is too be was a director, actor, and producer. Now I wish I was a set designer or making iconic props

Great Video. Did you see this one? Motion Graphics EXPLAINED! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZyck2aFgZ52adk

Great services..

* me starting film school on monday * .......... :p okay

Thank you for making this video. The past couple years have been tough for me in that i sort of lost my passion for filmmaking. I don't know if it's because of the new year or your wise words, but they ignited that drive I thought I'd never get back again. "It's always better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit. Keep going"

Watching this as I have aspirations of producing quality films people can be inspired by. My “film school” was acting in short films a film for Disney and a commercial. Not interested in directing but as an actor I just would like to also produce to give aspiring filmmakers a chance to work on set.

Why spend $80,000 to be in a classroom having a teacher teach you film producing when you can join the film connection for $13,000.00 be in a real film studio and have a real film producer teach you instead of a college professor.

I love this!

What about an administrative producer?

I literally just got accepted to film school and now idk how im going to tell my parents im not going

I’m talking film making in highschool

I’m a PA and I did not go to film school.
