ABSTRACT
More than once I’ve had a college student sit across the desk and ask,
“Do I really need to go to film school? Do I really need to go to college
to do this?” I always instinctively felt that, yes, if you have to ask that question, you probably will benefit from the structure of spending time
in the classroom. If there were no question about it, that person
wouldn’t be talking to me-they would be on a set somewhere learning through the school of hard knocks.
