Which One?

[3amigosproductions]

If you had the money, would you take film lessons, or invest in your own film?

Invest in my own film

[Panag]

Good question. Depends on how old i was. If i was 18 i would invest in school. If i was 28 i would go with my own film.

[3amigosproductions]

Thats the same answer i got from my film buddy Don B. Giles. And now he works at NYU film school. funny ain't It

[New Spark Films]

Probably invest in my own film. I plan on going to film school for the experience but I would prefer to invest in my own film. Then the film could make money and I would go to film school then.

[mrsiefer23]

film school

[FyceDesigns]

I would invest in my own film.

[HunnyBunchFilms]

I'd say invest in your film. If you get accepted to a film school or any college with a good film program, you can always apply for financial aid. I'm 21 and since I get financial aid all the money I make now is going toward my budget for my next film.

[punkandska66]

depends how good my film was...

[snicket]

Invest In Your Film...and save your money after that, for more stuff.

[Ladri.]

That's a great question. I'm only 16 so I would probably invest in film school. I want to go to USC's film school and that's going to be like 20k a year for me.

Am I the only person studying film on these forums?

Maybe, a lot us aren't in college yet.

[HunnyBunchFilms]

I know I was talking about the older fans.

[BeyondForeverFilmss]

Im too poor for a good college, so i have to wait til fall to go to a community college....yay....

[HunnyBunchFilms]

I'm in a community college and I'm learning more than I ever did back while I was at a regular school. Also you shouldn't be discouraged just because your poor. Apply for financial aid if you really are poor you'll get it.

[BeyondForeverFilmss]

oh im not discouraged, it just sucks when you get accepted to a school and wnat to go there then find out you cant get a loan lol.

and yah im pretty poor, im 18, i live on my own and make shit for money at a movie theater...

[jburas]

Five years ago I would have taken lessons, but now that I know how to make a film I could use the money on that instead.

[edwardlavender]

I think Eli Roth (and i know a lot of people don't like him) said it best when he said "yeah instead of investing x amount of dollars in school...you could invest x amount of dollars in a big piece of shit.

just beware is all. surround yourself with people who know more than you.

[next-tarantino]

Am I the only person studying film on these forums?


No. In fact, I will be graduating from our film program this May.

And I wouldn't invest in either option, in particular. I'd invest in equipment for future filmmaking projects.

But, I guess if I had to choose one, I'd invest in my own film, seeing as how I've already had four years of film study.

[3amigosproductions]

Ya I figured, if i invest in film school, i wont have enough money to make a film

[rrh]

I would make a movie for no money and spend the money I saved on beer.

[b-smitty323]

I would go to film school.
