:I guess my convoluted question is what are your thoughts on film school.
My advice has always been "Skip film school. Become very friendly with
those who DO attend film school, so that you have cheap or free access to
equipment, as well as people who sort of know what they're doing - at least
moreso than you. Then, sink that money you would've used for film school
into your own production."
: Do I need to mortgage the trailer to go to NYU, maybe try and end up
being an ass-washer for James Lipton at the New School?
No.
: Or can I slum it at a smaller program and let good work speak for itself,
That's an option.
: or even give all that the bird and just write, spend and have grandma
serve as key grip?
Worked for me (minus Grandma).
