Don't know where I want to go, but listening to filmmakers talk about their films in interviews and such, I know, THAT's where I belong. And sometimes I say something, and I think, that would be a GREAT movie line, b/c it reflects how many teenagers like me feel.

That being said, I do plan to go to film school for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. I feel that it will give me experience in filmmaking that I do not have right now, and it will give me a great core group of filmmaker friends with projects to work on that are tough to find right here right Danny Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156845190808578435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-38855033535849273042010-05-29T20:54:08.261-07:002010-05-29T20:54:08.261-07:00Then the question is, if you choose film school wh...Then the question is, if you choose film school which one should you go to? I'm in the same situation with Chris, studying English Lit at Uni and pondering film school afterward. The thing is I'm Guyana a long way from any film/tv industry so I have some thinking to do...luckily I've got three years to do so.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-57203090689675923792010-05-29T12:51:47.505-07:002010-05-29T12:51:47.505-07:00If I can get enough money, I'll probably go to...If I can get enough money, I'll probably go to film school.

I talked to Scott Rosenberg about his TV shows, and he would talk about his role as Head Writer, he'd get people in to do the writing, but then; he'd get the final say on it--- maybe you could work in a way like that. <br /><br />The Kid In The Front Rowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284758898483746863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-73290495976150850022010-05-29T06:07:10.054-07:002010-05-29T06:07:10.054-07:00I'm in Wales, so Cardiff is my best option. I&...I'm in Wales, so Cardiff is my best option. I'm looking to do production - to eventually produce my own drama. What worries me about this is that I can't specifically say what I want to do. I'd like to write, to produce, and direct too if I'm up to it. That seems too general. It seems that a producers job can be 'a bit of everything', but then I'll sound unfocused.Chris David Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042114431864864898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-10256822962246324042010-05-29T05:42:38.380-07:002010-05-29T05:42:38.380-07:00I don't think English Lit is irrelevant dude, ...I don't think English Lit is irrelevant dude, that's a wonderful degree to have. <br /><br />It would be great if you could get stuck in. Are you London based? There are many production companies in town who do TV work -- is it specifically production you want to do? What interests you about television?

I'm about to graduate from university (with an irrelevant degree in English Lit) and want to go into television. I'm thinking - training or work experience? I could go the whole way and get a masters degree. But the more I think about it the more I just want to get stuck in. If I came out of a film school I'd be qualified but Chris David Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042114431864864898noreply@blogger.com
