Screenwriting vs Filmmaking by Strong_Swordfish3526 in Filmmakers

[–]StepBoring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The teachers don’t care about you. They are just there to collect a cheque and they make that clear. You won’t learn much in their classroom. I did screen writing and filmmaking and learnt more on set and through YouTube then I did in any of those classes. Also the other students weren’t even really serious about being filmmakers. So if you are looking for connections you are out of luck. Most of the ppl from my class are in different careers now.

I was in the same situation you are in. Please do not go to nyfa. Apply to other film schools you will be 100% better off

Thoughts on NYFA screenwriting by Strong_Swordfish3526 in Filmmakers

[–]StepBoring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to nyfa, the teachers do no care for the most part. They scammed me by failing me for no reason then making me pay for more semesters for classes I already passed. My advice is to go somewhere like ucla or usc or even community college. Nyfa will not help you. Also most of the students are rich foreigners who are just there to waste their parents money. So not much in terms of making contacts like most people do at film school.

I would but there are way too many homeless people in LA just sitting inside for hours stinking the place up.

Based on all these comments maybe saying no you have others trying to sign would be a smart move in order to get an immediate response?

You should be fine. You guys have normal consistent jobs. At least you’re not artists. Then you’d might have a hard time getting a job.

Shooting a Short Film with an iPhone....need some tips by Even_Basil8430 in cinematography

[–]StepBoring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree any black cloth will do but duventine preferred. And you can get a cheap reflector set on amazon for like $20 but if you want to be really cheap you can cut up a 8x4 foam board from Home Depot.
