What is better to go to school to become a director?
Scottsdale Community College and the University of Arizona? These are my two choices to get a bachelor degree in film and video, but I do not know what school is best option all aspects: financial, academic, etc.
I do not want to discourage you get an education, but sometimes honesty means giving an answer that may not be well received. In my opinion, none of these colleges are worth spending your hard earned money on. Film Industry Arizona is next, or even nonexistent, and it does come into play when attending a film school. You need to move your career if you want to work in something other than a local news station or work only if a studio comes to your state. Knowing this, I propose be moving to attend college in California, or take the money you can spend in college and put it towards a move to California to get a start in the industry. A bachelor's degree in film and video is the most useless thing you'll ever spend money, what you get out of it is education in the short film, nothing more. N studios care about whether or not you have diploma, which is great. This means that you can go to any studio, apply for an internship or a job as production assistant, and learn the ropes. It is so terrifying to get just get up and move and fight your way through the industry, but it's something that we all do if we want to work in it. I went to university, studied film and worked alongside of guys who had never attended college. I knew much more than they do on film, but at the end of the day, they were not thousands of dollars in debt. This does not mean you should not go to college. It'sa great way to meet people and learn to work in industry, but at the end of the day, it is not the only way to do it. Read some books (my first film, etc.) and see if the film is something you can do without school. If you decide you want to participate, be serious about it and try to get into UCLA, Brooks Institute of Photography, USC, AFI, or any number of major film schools near Los Angeles.
