Will Film School Help Me?

Will Film School Help Me?
Do you see the world as if it were a movie unfolding before your eyes? If you see a stranger crying at a train station, do you think of how the scene might work in your latest film project?
If so, you should probably go to film school to find out how you can bring your natural inclinations and skills into a professional career.
If you want to make films, you need to learn how to speak the language of film. Sure, you may have seriously cool and authentic ideas about a film you'd like to make rolling about in your head, but if you do not learn how a film comes together, how technology and funding come together to make art, you won't get to make any films.
This is not something that you can do in your garage.
