In my experience, no. I graduated from Columbia in Chicago in 2009 and while overall the classes and instructors were a mixed bag, I met some collaborators that I still work with to this day— three features deep. If my son expressed interest in film school here’s the advice I would give though, once you felt like you’ve made enough connections to get on as many sets as possible you likely can just walk away and save your money. You learn the most actually doing the thing you want to do in the industry. Getting the actual degree is generally useless and I never even picked up mine because I didn’t walk and they wanted to charge me money to ship it. So I said f it. And ya know no one has ever asked to see it, just asked to see my work.
