Don’t Waste Your Money Making a Film, Just Go To Film School

By David Landau

There are some people who have been writing on the internet, in articles, and even in a very, poorly written book, that instead of spending money on tuition for film school, you should just use that money to make your own movie.

Why Film School Matters

That’s almost the same as saying, instead of spending money going to flight school, just buy an plane and try flying. After all, you’ve flown on planes before, seen them on TV and in the movies, and played with toy airplanes. So how hard could flying a plane be, right?

Some people might argue that you can’t kill yourself making a movie, but the facts are that many people have gotten killed making movies, almost of all them from doing stupid things. Things film schools teach you not to do in fact.
