Student Film Festivals

2007-11-07T03:37:37-05:00

I’m a student filmmaker in LA. I’m presently shooting a 15-20 minute dramatic narrative short, with the hope to submit it to film festivals around the country.

Are there any fests that cater to *well-crafted* student shorts?

Preferably, the submission deadline should be by end of Feb 2008? (Can’t finish it before then!)

Any comments/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Film School or DIY?

Is a formal film education the best route—or should you just save the $ and take the DIY approach?

I am looking for a film school in San Diego, CA. I can’t seem to find any. Currently, I can’t go up to LA for this (which is where they are all at). If anyone knows any, can you please post it here. Thank you…

How do you deal with disappointments when you project is turned down?

2007-11-07T13:35:07-05:00

Fortunately, as a student, I haven’t had any projects turned down yet--since all the ones I’ve done have been for me ;) But I am sure the day will come when not everything will go so smoothly. What steps do you follow when your project has been put out to dry?

Just breaking in

2008-03-14T09:39:40-05:00

Hello Everyone, I am looking for advice. I have recently discoverd that I really want to be in the film industry. Not in front of the cameras, but probably in post production, or film editing. The problem is, I have no background in this industry - basically starting from scratch. I wonder should I pursue this career goal given that I will soon be 34 years old? Should I bother with going to film school?

Only HONEST, and CONSTRUCTIVE advice is welcome.
Thanks

Anyone know of a good program that is short in length for film school?

2008-03-02T22:19:52-05:00

Wondering if anyone knows of a decent short program. I am not looking for a degree and the realities of life require me to work a day job so going back to college is not an option. NYFA seemed like a good idea since it was only 8 weeks long which is something I could handle.
