Review by Brian
June 3, 2012 2Many of us started this school thinking it was a dream come true. The price for 9 months and be a film pro. The school has hardly any curriculum or goals at all, when I was there, they were pulling teachers off of Craigslist. Most of my instructors were good but in the end, nothing fit together. By mid semester we were showing up and no teachers were showing up. Me an 3 other students dropped out at the same time. over 1,000 dollars a month for learning stuff you would learn for free on YouTube just didn’t cut it for us. I met some great people but all in all the experience was a waste of my time and money. I have heard since we have left, the school had to relocate to a smaller area for lack of students. If I would have spent the money on camera equipment that was spent on this school, I would be in much better shape.
