It's our 50th Episode! This week, alongside our new co-host Ash, we wanted to discuss an often debated topic; Should you go to film school? If you've ever found yourself thinking "is film school worth it, should I go?" we wanted to share some insight and advice.
Quite a few members of the Film Jams team have gone to film schools themselves. When thinking if you should go to film school, obviously the cost is a huge factor. We talk about if film school is worth the money, as well as what we learned and didn't learn.
This is also our 50th episode! Starting next week, we're going to be uploading two videos per week, Tuesdays with Ash and Fridays with Christian. To celebrate we're giving away a FREE Film Jams T-Shirt! Check the pinned comment for details. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel!
What do you think, fellow filmmakers? Do you need film school? Did it help your career or are you $50,000 in debt? What are the reasons to go to film school in your opinion? And ultimately....is Film School worth it?
If you have any questions on the techniques used in this review video, please send a note in the comments. Thanks for watching Should YOU Go To Film School?, in our Film Jams series!
So should I go to film school, and should Popsicle Pauly make an appearance in another episode? Only you can tell us, film jammers!
