#14 Reason I Hate Film School . . . It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Most traditional film schools expect their students to come from the old filmmaking families. Coppolas, Scotts, Donners, and Nolans - you name them, and they and their uncles have probably gone to film school.

Naturally, this means that they've got money to burn. And because they've got money to burn, it also means that these traditional film schools charge and arm and a leg. The sad part is that they charge such exorbitant tuitions to EVERYBODY. Nobody's spared - not you, not me, not your neighbor's nephew.

So what options do the rest of us mere mortals have? Well, there's always Film Connections. The tuition is reasonable. It won't send you or your parents to the poorhouse. Best of all, however, you actually learn something because it's not just for show. You're trained in a real set with real film crews as mentors. That's some value right there!
