There are 3 important questions you should ask a film school…
| Making the decision to go to film school is a big one, so it’s important to choose the school that’s right for you and your goals. That makes asking the right questions important! Consider the following questions: #1 – How does the school teach filmmaking? Everyone learns in different ways (visual ,verbal, hands-on, etc.) What teaching methods are applied at the school you’re considering? Does it fit your learning style? At SFFS, we have a unique project-based curriculum that combines classroom study with on-set instruction, centered around individual film projects created by students. We believe that the best way to learn filmmaking is to make films! #2 – What is the success rate of graduates? Film school is a major investment in time and money. You want to make sure that at the end of your program, you have the knowledge and skills necessary to build a career.
