Ebook Title: Film School & Beyond
Author: Darren Alff
Ebook Description:
If you're someone looking to get into one of the world's top film schools or someone simply looking to break into the film and television industry, then you need to do your research and read this book!
A film school graduate himself, Darren Alff began his career as a sound mixer on independent films and documentaries. After just a year of work in the industry, Darren realized that there were a number of things that his film school education hadn't provided him with. Determined to do his homework and find out why these things hadn't been taught to him during his costly education, Darren began interviewing past and current film students from around the country. Some of the people were from large film schools such as USC, NYU, Chapman University, etc... while others were from film schools you may have never heard of. After a year's worth of research, Darren had interviewed over 300 past and current film students about their experiences both in film school and in the film industry.
"Film School & Beyond" is a compilation of those interviews in which Darren and a select 65 of his total 300 interviewees answer questions that are vital to any film student's success. Questions such as:
- Why are so many people pursuing a career in film and television?
- What got you interested in the film industry?
- Why did you go to film school?
- Is diving right into film school a good idea?
- What should I look for in the schools I'm applying to?
- Do I need a lot of experience before I apply to film school?
- How am I supposed to stand out against all the other applicants?
- How does early admission affect my chances of being accepted?
- Do I really need a demo reel/portfolio?
- What are film schools really looking for in their applicants?
- If you could reapply to film school, what would you do differently?
- What advice do you have about applying to film school?
- What is my school going to expect of me once I've been accepted?
- Who were the student leaders at your school and why were they in that position?
- How can I make the most of my time in film school?
- What should I bring with me to film school?
- What are the biggest mistakes that film students make?
- Did film school give you the education you wanted?
- What can I expect after I graduate?
- How do I survive after graduating from film school?
A total of more than 175 pages of crucial information was amassed and is now available to any film student or filmmaker smart enough to do his homework.
But be warned! This book is not for the faint of heart. Some of the information in this book is a little scary... and some is quite controversial.
This book will either make you want to reconsider your decision of going into the film and television industry... or it will motivate you to work that much harder!
But before you make the leap and decide what you're going to do, you gotta get the facts!
