#23 Reason I Hate Film School . . . You Have to Travel to Major Cities.

So maybe this is pretty much the reality. The major schools, the ones with the stellar reputation that you can easily get jobs on the basis of the name of the school in your diploma, aren't exactly accessible. Financially, true, but we've been over that.

Physically too.

Small town, big cities, everyone's gotta have that big dream. And no matter where they live or the population of the city they're living in or some other thing, everyone should have the chance to achieve that dream. To prove themselves to people that they are worthy.

Film schools are so far away. I guess it's understandable that a lot of them are in California and New York too. But let's face it, not everyone can have that chance to go there. Wouldn't it be just great to be able to learn and study about films without traveling too far from where you're home is. You don't have to shell out so much money and use them toward your education. Getting your equipment right and up to date, making sure that you've got the tools you need to be successful, that sort of thing.

Now that would definitely be my idea of a supportive school.
