ABSTRACT
Recently, there has been an explosion of assorted varieties of film schools. This is, on the whole, very good news. Film is the most widely available form of literacy. People from the majority of the cultures on the planet have access to film or television in some form. Websites, pages, and blogs have proliferated at an astounding rate of speed. Games, both online and packaged, are the fastest-growing form of entertainment. Masters of fine arts are graduating from universities and arts schools after studying narrative film, documentary, animation, web design, games, graphics, and cinema studies. Ph.D.s are analyzing, studying, hypothesizing, and delineating all sorts of film-oriented material. All of this attention to film and related media is a wonderful validation to those of us who have devoted our careers to the entertainment industries.
