So you're interested in going to film school, in an English speaking Country.

So I guess we should look up some film schools in those countries and see how much they cost for foreign students.

You may need a portfolio for some of them. I'm not sure how it works.

Here is my idea:

I dont really want to go to top, top schools, since some of them are just insanely expensive for international school, especially us based ones.

I figure this is is not Meds or Science, so I dont need to get involved in the best school.

My idea is to enroll in a 1 or 2 year programme. After that, hopefully, get something in the film industry, doenst have to be big. Even if I get 1-2 year experience, and dont like living there and cant get citizenship, then I can come back to Dubai, and get in the industry here, but now with international studies and experience.

If I fail that too, I can always fall back on my BBA anyway.

Vocational.

MADali · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:27 pm)

Arent there dedicated film schools, instead of colleges that have film programmes?

Theldorrin · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:27 pm)

Oh, those are all academic. I'll look up vocational ones.

Who is studying film at FTU? Its Jason and Mike Dunn , right?

Theldorrin · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:29 pm)

Film is really not big enough to warrant a full school for it. Medical schools don't even have their own dedicated schools.

Theldorrin · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:30 pm)

I thought Jason was doing independent studies and Mike Dunn was doing communication.

How about that?

The website is like something from 1998

MADali · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:33 pm)

I cant trust a education institute with such a bad web design.

http://www.filmmaking.net/directory/filmschools/film_schools_browse.asp?country=Australia
http://www.filmmaking.net/directory/filmschools/film_schools_browse.asp?country=New%20Zealand

That's a good listing. Some of the entries have tuition info and length, too.

You could make a big list and cross off the ones that are untenable (too expensive or too long).

MADali · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:37 pm)

I've looked and bookmarked a few Australian and New Zealand places, but havent checked Canada at all, as I mentally striked it out.

But I guess I have no real reason for doing thta.

Canadian College of Film & Acting

It's located in Victoria, which is in BC. The tuition is pretty cheap, too.

Theldorrin · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:40 pm)

The US is probably the best, but it's also probably the most expensive.

What types of things do you want to make?

MADali · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:43 pm)

US is expensive, and to be honest, I am not comfortable with the country's increasing anti-immigrant attitude, plus their reaction towards people from the middle east.

MADali · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:44 pm)

Time for bed, I'll check these in more detail tommorrow

It's not even 6PM

Theldorrin · (Mon May 28, 2007 3:46 pm)

See, if you go to a place that is not in a major city, then it's probably cheaper. But if you go to a larger city then there will more likely be an Iranian community if you wanted to take advantage of that sort of thing.
