Admission in US Film Schools

casper2289 · Jul 8, 2009

HI Guys! I am a 20 year old, pursuing my graduation in Mass Communication and Videography from St. Xavier's College, Calcutta, India. I want to pursue a masters degree in filmmaking in the USA. However I'm completely blank when it comes to choosing the best possible options and with the Internet giving out so much information within a second I'm getting more confused than before.

I WANT TO GET ADMITTED IN A NON EXPENSIVE GOOD FILM SCHOOL WHERE THERE ARE JOB PLACEMENTS. Please guys help me out. Give me a list of schools or at least gimme a reliable web address. Thanks!!!

New York Film Academy has a well-reputed 2-year Masters program. Highly recommended, and they offer campuses in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. I highly recommend the program. I have several friends who have gone through the program and moved directly into production jobs after earning their degrees.

Thank you for your reply. I of course have heard about their course programme. I'll check it out for sure. Thank you once again.

No film school will guarantee you work after you graduate...

Compare/contrast the different degree programs and classes offered.

After that, you'll still want to attend open houses and find real answers to your questions about different degree programs, equipment, and facilities available to students:
