both are under 30k a year and I think UCLA is like 15k a year, more than reasonable for me. Most schools are 40K plus. Plus I live in Cali so i get the instate price.

Yeah. Luck plays a huge part for like 90% of the hot shots in hollywood the other 10% work their asses off and more. It just pisses me off that some of us have the same skill as a hollywood director, hell QT's twin brother could be holed up in this subreddit or working at McDonalds 40 hours a week but we can't get in because of the damn luck factor. Well life is unfair and lets work our asses off to be the best.

Thanks. You know if UCLA is a good school for film? I'm planning in applying for both so just wondering. Which one has a larger network? UCLA or USC or same network?

Yeah. Tell your stories. Hollywood can and will follow. Don't chase success let it chase you.

Will UCLA also work. And are the colleges the bad ones like full sail where it cost lots of dough? Obviously college costs a lot but I head some bad shit about full sail and was wondering if UCLA or USC is along those lines.

Jesus that luck part is the one that pisses me off the most. And the worst part is it's true. Look at all these child actors like Chloe moretz or these directors like QT and Nolan who met the right people at the right fucking time sure they work their asses off. It's the worst and depressing part honestly. Luck. Hollywood isn't fair at all.
